:new::new::new: Thanks for posting!! I have been reading the forum for a few weeks now-but I was too scared to post. Reading you this morning-and some of the other comments-made me say "just do it!" I know I will get more from this if I participate in a more active way.

Welcome Expat, good on you for taking the first important step. There is loads of advice and support here. Maybe pop into the 'newbies nest' in this section as your post might not get seen here.
Keep safe

i hear you when u advise it is better to post, it actually never occured to me before that it makes you more accountable, i suppose i thought by logging on, your experiences would make me stronger,but i think that is kinda selfish, i should be able to give as well as take..
Anyway yes weekends are difficult but i have done it before and i can do it again

You will do, I know what you mean it is a bit confusing at first so just post where ever you feel comfortable. You will be welcome everywhere.

Hi Sunray,

Its nice to meet you! I can relate to always being at day 1 it seems. No matter how many good intentions I always had, after 2 or 3 days I would be buying wine again. I just could not say NO once I got "that" thought into my brain.

I am currently taking Antabuse, and I really like it! Is that anything you would ever consider? Just curious, its worked wonders for me. If you ever consider it, and want to ask me anything, please feel free!

:thanks:Hi Mollyka, Thanks for the welcome. I am slowly but surely figuring stuff out on the site! And yes, I've been living over here in France for a few years now-but one does get homesick! I don't look like E.T. (Thank God!) but I've always had a bit of a soft spot for him, haha! I can relate! The week-ends can be long but I hope everyone has a good one. I know I will be checking in here quite often. It is quite a comfort to read others stories etc. Take care all

Sunray & Expat - Personally in the beginning I found posting hugely theraputic, finding this site was the 1st time I realized there were people out there who understood how I was feeling inside. I would never have dared admit the truth to my friends and in fact Id rarely admitted it to myself. Posting for me let it all come out and it felt like the biggest weight off my shoulders.

Expat - Im a Uk expat too living in Portugal.
