      Hi there and welcome! I'm not in Australia (NS, Canada), but there are definitely some here who are.

      I, too, was a daily drinker (all day) and just recently tapered down (I was drinking a lot throughout the day) and cut out hard alcohol all together, now complete sober (almost 4 weeks) and only having a beer from time to time. What a difference in quality of life, I tell ya!

      You've found an awesome website. Take some time and read through the message boards and post when/where you want to. The site can be quite addictive - but in a good way!
      AF for two years. Slight relapse. Working on it at the moment.

        WELCOME!

        I'm not form Australia, either, but I lived there a long time ago. There are a lot of Aussies on the sight, and from all over the world. This is truly a worldly place where we all meet to deal with a common thread - alcohol.

        Stick around, read a lot, look into the book and supplements, and ask anything you like. There is a lot of support and sobriety here. We have all been where you are, so feel free to share your story. You have a very sympathetic ear here.

        All the best,

        MM

            Hi Majella
            I'm in Oz and I'm trying to stop the daily drinking too.

            I've been doing really well cutting down from drinking up to a bottle or two of wine a day (and sometimes more on weekends) to just 2-3 glasses, but it's still been a daily habit for more years than I can remember to have at least those couple of glasses of wine every day.

            Today I'm going to try changing my evening routine to come home from work and not have any wine at all and I'm feeling ridiculously anxious about it.

            I guess I'll just have to take it one hour at a time!

            See you around!

              Hi Majella,
              Welcome. I think you will find a lot of support here. Have you thought about if you are goint to taper down, get some scripts, or go it cold? Maybe it takes a little time to decide. Anyway, best of luck and again welcome.
