    Hi, new to the board

    Hi everyone,

    Well I did post once but otherwise a newbie.

    I've been lurking a couple of days and wanted to say. You all know why I'm here - my drinking is out of control. I think I'll join the 48 hour thread for starters. If I aim for a 30 and fail I can't help but get really discouraged and depressed which leads to more self-destruction. I have a week of AF days this month and shooting for more. I read My Way Out several years ago and right now I'm reading MM's book. I'll be giving kudzu another go. I'm taking some other herbs as well.

    I did okay today. It's about 6:00 p.m. and I'm AF today. I'm drinking sweetened tea the rest of the evening. I'm off to read around the board. Thanks for listening.

    Hi, new to the board

    Hey Bluejay - welcome!!! I think it is great that you are planning on joining the 48 hour thread for starters. I know so many times I tried to quit, drank, then felt so miserable I stayed away from here for weeks or months. FInally two months ago something in my big fat head clicked and I started reading, posting, drinking gallons of lemon water and taking a few of the supps and it worked! I am over two months and have this place to thanks. It looks like you are set to do this and seem to have a plan. The plan is key. WIthout it I would have failed miserably again. Best of luck to you friend. Watch - you wll get past that 48 and you wlil be amazed how you feel. Keep us informed of your progress! The people here rock.

    Your friend, Waggy

      Hi BlueJay and welcome. (I am a BlueJays's fan in Major League Baseball). It is a good thing that you know that you have a problem, and that it is time to address it. Certainly any sober days you have are great.

      What is your goal? Moderation? Stopping drinking for good? Read and write lots, there are many caring and insightful people here who want to help you. Hang in there,

                Welcome Bluejay. See my recent post! This place has been a lift to me in the past several weeks. Hope we can be the same for you. It is a fight, though -- stand firm! Stay tough! Post lots. We'll look forward to hearing more from you.

                    Bluejay & Chelsea :welcome:
                    Please read lost of posts and keep posting! It really helps. Lots of support here - just remember, you aren't alone - we are all here because we admit that our drinking has gotten out of control and we want to STOP!
                    Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
