Welcome very determined!

I am new to this site too and I feel at home already. I've found tons of great support, helpful ideas and so many people stuggling with alcohol so I don't feel so alone.

So I am glad you are here and wish you success.:welcome:

Thank you, Lucky Mom! It is a great place to be right now. I'm not really struggling yet - but I know I will. Its funny how this darn habit of mine has been around for so long. I remember telling myself I should quit 20 years ago. I'd love to say I could drink in moderation, but it doesn't seem to hold true very long. Thanks for the welcome - like I said - I'll be around for awhile.

Day 7 AF and still feel very determined and very confident. We had our town celebration today - my husband is up town at the beer garden and I'm home. Very comfortable about that - I might add. I'm going to feel great in the morning - can't say the same for him (don't know). I'll tell you - this is very empowering.

Massive congratulations VD, You sound extremely positive. I'm on Day 21, I think I possibly started to get a bit over confident- Then overly concerned about this week (2 diners with girlfriends who are big drinkers) but I'll get through it. One day at a time, theres no point worrying about both now!

I am just starting out today. I want to live free of the consequences of drinking. I like to drink - I just dont like waking up in ICU with tubes running out of me and not remmebering how I got there.

I am going to shoot for abstinence. I did the AA thing for nearly 20 years and then some cannabis experimentation led me to some win which has led to 7 years of uncontrolled sporadic hell...
