Hi all, new here and want to stop drinking completely. It's hard not to drink every day. I did so a couple of days ago and it wasn't so bad.

I've been drinking for many years and my Dr. has told me I have to stop. I'm an online person more than a meeting person, so I wanted to join this community. Thanks for being here and I'll look around. Looks like a good place to be.

Thanks all so much for the warm welcome. It's good to be here.

What I'm dealing with right now is a complete lack of motivation. I'd like to get some wine, but after finding sleeping pills in strange places (and I put cottage cheese in the bottle and don't remember any of it), I am scared to. It wasn't the wine that led to the blackout, rather the sleeping pills will at times make me eat and not remember. I should really knock them off as I don't know what I was doing with them last night. Plus, what if things were to escalate and I drove, although I don't think I'd do that.

At any rate, sober as a judge here but cannot get anything done. This is what happens when I stop drinking. I just cannot get anything done. I will force myself to go to a women's AA meeting in a couple of hours, even though it's far, and even though I am not an AA person. I need to pull out of this and maybe going to a meeting will help. Then I'll force myself to go to the gym and maybe after all of this I will have the energy to clean this house.

At any rate, thank you, thank you and thank you.
