:welcome: Gus,

You have found a good place to support you if you truly want to stay AF, take it ODAT, drink lots of water with fresh lemon squeezed in it to detox your liver and take a look at the supplements, the best advice is to get 30 days AF under your belt and then take it from there.

I'm sure more people will jump on board with advice, I just wanted to say Hi and looking forward to getting to know you.

Hi Gus, and welcome. Ditto to all the above, get another couple of days under your belt and you've no idea how good you will feel. What's done is done, bar grovelling there is probably nothing you can do for your marriage right now except not drink. I'm in the same position myself! Keep reading around and posting, I repeat myself a lot on this point, but not only can this website help, it has probably saved my life. Give it a go - you've nothing to lose and everything to gain

Hi Gus, this site has helped me alot to stay AF, but I had to do the work..not picking up the glass of wine Etc. You can remain free of A if you really want to, and the folks on here will be right there with you to encourage and support you. I highly recommend following what the senior members have to advise. Welcome and great job so far on 3 days.

Welcome both.

You've made a great start by not drinking for a few days and signing up here.

A word of caution - when you say "Hope this (site) works" - please remember that going AF is an active process. You will not become AF by being passive. There is more useful info and support here than you can shake a stick at but you need to embrace your sobriety with both hands and be prepared to 'work it'. Everyone here will help you with that.

Look forward to getting to know you.
Congrats on taking the first steps.

Hello Gus and Welcome!

You have come to a wonderful place, and your life will only get better as a result of giving up Alcohol. There is loads of support here, and as I'm fairly new, too I don't have lots of experience, but I've noticed those who are successful have made a real committment to change their lives for the better.

Good luck on your journey!

Hi Gus,

Welcome, there is so much support here it's incredible but like Bean said, the heavy lifting is going to have to be on your shoulders. If you really want to do it we can help.

Good Luck

Welcome Gus! Good to have you on MWO! Read and explore, post when you need to. The site has helped me TONS, but like Bean said, the site won't do it by itself! Make a decision to not go back to AL, and continue to make that decision every day, one day at a time!

:welcome: Gus! It's a new year and a great time to start the rest of your life :l:h Coming to a place like this will be a wonderful way to find support from people who have been there done that... It just gets really old after a while upsetting the ones we love doesn't it? At the end of my drinking I didn't even find it fun anymore... just a blurry mess. Good luck to you Gus :l
