Hi all, i am new here. I just found out about this site and I think this is the site for me because i think i am an alcoholic. well, I am not drinking everyday but i drink almost one day in a week. And every time i start the first drink it will never end until i drunk.

I just want to stop all this. Because deep inside my heart i know I am destroying myself. :upset:

Hi there sljs
Welcome to you.
Its a big thing to admit that our drinking has gotten out of hand, so well done you for doing so.
Do you have a plan to stop? There is plenty of advice and support around here. Keep on reading and posting and know that there is a way out of all this.
Good to see you!

:welcome: sljs. Good for you admitting that alcohol is a problem for you. As you noted - I don't think it's how often we drink as much as our inability to stop once we start that points to the problem.

It is hard work to get free, but people here are doing it every day. If any of us can do it, then so can you. Read lots and post often!

Strength and hope,

DG

Welcome to our community. For every story told here there is another member who can identify. I think it's comforting to know that this is not a discrimnating disease and affects all types of people all over the world. Start w/ the book if you can, and keep visiting here for advice. Good luck and keep us informed!

Hi sljs09, I am new here, too. I joined this morning. I am so glad I stumbled (no pun intended!) onto this site. So far just reading everyones stories has been comforting to me. My drinking is so out of hand that I have to stop. It's everyday and has been that way for along time. I hope we both find what we are looking for here!! Good luck!
