Tranq, enjoy the wedding today. Having a plan is place is great, and I am sure you will be fine. We are all rooting for ya!

Afternoon Chops, our day started off sunny but has become progressively more dull and cold thru the afternoon!
So glad you like the Beatles, there's a big thing about them in the UK because all the music is being re-released - what shall we start with - I get by with a little help from my friends?
That sounds rather apt to me!
Lovely to see you on the bus have a good weekend

I just found MWO on the internet. I've been worried about the amount I drink for some time. I have no desire to attend meetings, so this sound like a great option. However, I am scared to death to consider an AF life. How does the moderation seem to work for people?
I've ordered the book and supplements. Does the system work better with medication? Help.

Welcome :welcome: blcv
Some people can moderate, some cannot. Each of us are individuals. There are people on the site who moderate or mod, there are people who go without or are AF (alcohol free). People can choose either/or or switch back and forth between the two. Some people go AF without the medication or supplements, others need the whole kit and kaboodle. It really is an individual thing.
Wander around the site, read the different threads, everyone is friendly. This is a great thread to get started on. Post anywhere you like, you are welcome everywhere.

hi blcv, can i suggest that you look at the threads about moderating and medication. I'm afraid that I dont have any success in moderating so I prefer to be alcohol free and I don't use the medication so can't help you there.
There are lots of interesting threads on here and I'm sure you'll find the answers to your questions.
All the best
Sooty

Morning the Nest!
Welcome blcv:welcome:
I am a relative newbie here so I will leave the advise giving to the wise ones! (Our Great Sage!aka Pops) is on sabbatical right now I believe :H:H, but i did want to tell you that I felt the same way...was terrified of going AF and also not sure I really wanted to..resented the fact that others can drink without the bingeing I guess! But I am on a learning curve here. I plan on moderating,has always been my intention, but as for now I am two weeks into a 30 day AF stint to help me get the control and work out how I want to approach the whole thing. Tranq is alot further along than me...so when he steps in I'm sure he can give you some wise words, and of course our Lav, Sunni and Chops! But in the meantime, sit back enjoy the ride on our sober bus and post,read and chat as much as you can.You've found a very comfy nest here..find a twig and settle in!!!

To all the Nesters...how goes it? Sooty I like the Beatles alot, but can I make a request for some Elvis at some point???
Chops-how you managing?
Lav- give that bundle of fun a hug from me (not the insanity twins,just pat them for me) and enjoy your BBQ!
Sunni- hope the boating is good! Prayers being sent to your Mum as I write!!! I know what it's like to have a sick parent!
Tranq- remember to enjoy yourself at the wedding,with your plan!!!!
That's all for now folks....going to have breaky with hubby,kids and g'parents down the mall for Father's Day!
P.S- HAPPY FATHER's DAY for all the DAD's!!!

:welcome: to blcv! Glad to have you in the nest. Find a nice comfy twig and a spot on the bus! We are here to help you!

Chicken, I am managing well. Thanks for asking! How are things with you? Hope Father's Day went well. Our Father's Day was in June. I think we are about to arrive at Grandparent's Day. Lav, can you help me on this one? When is our day as grandparents, aside from each and every day! :H

Sooty, thanks for the tunes! I hadn't heard about the Beatles being re-released. My dad is a huge Beatles fan, so therefore I take after him!

Hi Wally! Thanks for stopping by the nest. Great advice you have offered!!!

Hello to Tranq, Lav, Sunni, Papa, 'G' and all others.

I have a date tonight!!! Must go get ready, so I am sorry if I missed anyone. Will post tomorrow. Wish me luck!!! :l :h

Chops, Grandparents Day is Sept. 13 this year (had to Google it). Hey, enjoy your date - good for you!

Hi to Tranq cause I know you'll check in at some point - hope the wedding was OK today.

Greetings to the Great Sage aka Pops & G - hope you can relax soon

Everyone have a safe AF night.

hello

just introducing myself & hoping that this site will help me.I've just ordered the book & CD's so look forward to receiving them.
I really want to find peace within myself,so many years flown by that I regret most of them.In fact,I regret ever being introduced to alcohol.
Does anyone know if the meds mentioned in the other section are avail without script in Australia?
