Hi everyone this is my first time here and don't know where to start.
I want to thank everyone for all post. I have been raeding and they have helped we these last few days.I need help to stop drinking. I don;t like myself when I drink.
I feel awful in the moring guilty self hate etc.
I have never told anyone about my problem. This is really hard.
Just wanted to say Hi for now will talk more later.
everyone have a good day::new::

Welcome Bear!!
Have you read the book "My Way Out"? I found it a great place to begin my journey -- It's an inspiring read and will help you get a game plan together.
Congrats on your first post.
Keep reading and posting.

Bear,

:welcome:

The anonymity of MWO sure helped a lot of us get started on our journey.

We can share things here we have a hard time sharing anywhere else.

Glad you are here.

Welcome Bear-

I am also pretty new and I started by reading the book. I got all the supps and made it 12 days then had to start over again. I dont like myself when I drink either. There isn't much to like about a wasted person. Its screwing up my life in a lot of ways. I think everyone here feels that way or we wouldn't need to quit in the first place. So, you can get a ton of support and advice here.

Hi Bear .. welcome .. You've found a great site .. It's one of a kind, I am sure. Feel free to post as much as you want .. tell your story, ask questions, or whatever you like. We're all in the same boat here. Like you, I didn't share the extent of my "problem" with anyone. I wouldn't have made the progress I have made without MWO .. I'm sure of that.

Looking forward to hearing lots from you as you find your way "out" ..

Welcome BEAR! This site was really useful for me the first time I tried to have an alcohol-free life. I don't go to AA or groups or anything, so I think I need this for support. Here's to the second time (clinks a glass of ginger ale) and not falling off ever again :-)

Welcome Bear, we are here for you. The best things you can do is listen to advice, post what you are feeling and read, read, read. I love going into chat when i feel good and when i feel crappy. I always get something out of it. Good luck

Hi Bear,

Welcome, glad you found us! There's lots of support & encouragement to be found here.
After you've read the MWO book you really need to make a plan for yourself , something suited to fit your individual needs. We're all a little bit different.

Stay close and we'll get thru this together

All the best.

The first step is to tell someone.

When I have been drunk in the past I am usually happy. The last 2 times and 1 two weeks prior I was in a crying wreck. And in any case I was always wanting to be someone on tv sober.

By being sober and quitting drinking, I won't have to worry about crying fits (one was because I didn't get to see my mom leave to go to work.) and I wouldn't have to wish I was sober because I am sober.

Taking it a day at a time.
