My name is Carol and I just joined. I am glad to meet you all. :new:
I am an alcoholic. I come from an alcoholic background and my son is an alcoholic also. I also have two daughters. None of my children live with me. I am female and just over 50. I have a live in boyfriend, a dog, a cat and some fish. I don't want to be an alcoholic anymore.
I work full time but don't have much of a social life (except maybe my alcohol). So it's a personal thing. Which from what I understand, is really a very hard thing. When I was around 30 or so, I stopped smoking. That was really the hardest thing I've ever done. I smoked for over 15 years or more, maybe around 18. I can't recall. That's really wonderful that I can't recall and don't really care that much about it to remember it. That's what I would like to have with this alcohol problem.
What I really need right now is a few good friends to talk to. Some folks to depend on when the going gets rough. This is my second night of no alcohol. We will see how I sleep (if at all). I've done that before -- stopped for a while. My intentions are always good.
Well enough ramblingly about me. I hope you are all well and living life to the fullest. It's all we have. I hope to speak to you all soon and I hope to make some friends. Maybe even I can be of some small help to someone sometime. I would like that.
:thanks:
Best of Regards to you and yours,
Carol
