Hey! Welcome. You've come to the right place. We're all in the same boat and we've pretty much all had the same porblems.
The best thing to do is get rid of ALL the drink in your house, stay away from people or places where you find you drink. For example, if you find yourself drinking at home, order you food shopping online so you don't need see the drink. Stay away from people you drink with and places you drink. STay close to us.
Why not tell us about yourself, how long and how much you've drunk? Any AF days? Tell us about your life ect ect! we're here for you!!

Welcome Jer,

:welcome:

We all are experiencing the same thing you are and understand. I have been to a few meetings in the past but don't go routinely. When I first called the hotline number, they put me on the phone with someone who had been in the program for a few years. She met me to go to a meeting. At the meeting, she made an announcement that it was my first meeting and they passed around a book. There were about 30 women who wrote their name and telephone number and said I could call them if I felt like having a drink. I was so touched!

Are you thinking about going? You can also call and not go if you want to just ask questions about it. They will also be very supportive.

Good luck!
