          hello still here and still sober but i do have an awful headache today. Supposed to go to my daughters for supper but have not decided yet. I get very depressed and when i do i don:t move far from the couch. Doctor has put me on cipralex but it will still take a week to kick in i think. Al has been on my mind alot but i don:t want to screw things up. I do have to go out sometime today tho and where i have to go there is a liquor store in the dam mall,you can not miss it. Off to have another cup of tea,not supposed to be drinking that either but water

            I'd like to jump into the nest too please. Yesterday was my first AF day in a very long time. I set myself up for success by being busy, taking a 5HTP and an L-Glut, and just saying 'no thanks' when DH offered me a glass at dinner time. It was actually easier than I thought! So I will keep to my plan and make today an AF day as well. Got a big dinner party planned for Jan 1 with wine pairings (what was I thinking!) but the guests are all very good friends and no one will say anything when I tell them I'm turning over a new leaf! This time of year people are willing to accept odd resolutions! And this one will be odd for me!!
            Ask yourselves, would you rather be a non drinker with an occasional desire to drink or a drinker with a constant desire to stop doing it?

              Hi everyone....I am new to posting in any chat forums so bear with me. This site looks very inviting and hopefully will be a good tool in my journey to sobriety. I am a once a month binge drinker and am so tired of the hangovers and blackouts. I don't ever want to pick up another drink again!! Again I hope I am doing this correctly .

                Hi binge1,

                Welcome to MWO & the Nest, this is a great place

                The best way to get started taking back control of your life is downloading the MWO book from the Health store right here on the site. It has a lot of good info for you.
                Making a good plan for yourself is essential. Take a look in the https://www.mywayout.org/community/f1...box-27556.html for lots of great ideas.

                Most of all, stay close & stay connected. We're all here for support & to offer support when we can. Please feel free to ask questions!

                Wishing you the best!

                    Morning everyone!
                    Scottish Lass - Thanks for the PM...I'll get back to you later when I have more time!!! Your comment about you and your girls being wild and wacky bed bugs made me laugh though. LOL
                    Binge - I wanted to welcome you to the Nest. You'll find so much support and encouragement here. I was a daily binge drinker...also daily blackouts and daily hangovers. Finally it just became TOO much. It honestly is much easier to be sober. No more running around to different liquor stores, counting bottles in the fridge to make sure I have enough to make it through the night, etc. Now I have a sense of peace that I've never had before. The anxiety is gone, along with the feelings of shame, embarrassment and regret. I no longer have to scramble for my phone in the morning to see who I called, or look through the text log to see what horrible things I might have said. Anyway, I just want you to know that you are NOT alone in this. We're more than happy to help you through this journey! I look forward to getting to know you!

                        Hi Satz,
                        Welcome to MWO and you have come to a great place. I am usually not on this section but wanted to respond to you quickly. During the day it can be a bit quiet around here. But I know that Lav and Byrdie will come around and welcome you and give you excellent advice. They are our nest mothers and are very wise individuals. Hang in there and grab a branch and curl up in the nest for awhile. Read, read, read on here and keep posting. It helps tremendously. Just coming on here and asking for help is a step in the right direction. We are all here for you. Don't go away. :welcome:

                          Hi Satz,
                          I want to offer you a warm welcome as well. Can you tell us a little about yourself? Sounds like you're fed up with alcohol, as we all are. You've taken a great first step by posting. You'll find that there is so much support and encouragement here, and no judgement. We've all been where you are right now. It can seem scary and overwhelming at first. I know I've had many stops and starts on this journey to becoming alcohol free. I just want you to know that it does get easier in time. Please let us know how you are so we can help you. I look forward to getting to know you!

                            Hi Binge, Satz and MWOlady - this is a good place to be! I have just managed my first 30 days after many false starts, and a 30 plus year drinking history - you can do it too - I was scared as well, but getting there and enjoying the strength I now know I have in order to succeed.
                            Morning Lav, K9, fly, twitt, irie, shue, UW and everyone else, this is early checking in for me - I view posts from my BB in the am before getting out of bed to set me up right for the day, but don't usually log on to my laptop until the evening - just so proud of everyone who is really trying and to those achieving an AF December...
