Hi! I found this site today when searching the net for some help. I am really want to stop drinking, my parents are alcoholics and while I thought I was never like them, alcohol has been a big negative in my life. From doing really dumb things and saying stupid crap, I have hurt alot of people and now I just want to heal and stop hurting myself and others. I have a husband and three beautiful healthy children, all enough reasons to be happy you might think but I am not and I use alcohol to self-medicate. Right now I am so sad and just need some support from people that understand and are on the same journey. I plan to explore this site as I can see from what I have read, there are books and cds to purchase, so i need to familarise myself with all thats available and get on with it. I look forward to lots of positive communication! Bye for now

:welcome: Naturalhighs! I am all too familiar with that unhappy(depressed) / drink / more unhappy/depressed / drink cycle. In my case, I realized that alcohol was directly causing my depression and directly / indirectly my unhappiness. You cannot go wrong by stopping drinking.
