hello to you all

Hi .wow how refreshing to be free to share feelings re alcohol dependency.signed up a few hours ago and just back on as entering danger zone time wise to start drinking!!!
Got a book and a bath lined up and then face mask(might help broken veins which i attribute to alcohol(though i know most of my family have the veins and arent drinkers)
Need to fill the next few hours until bed time in a constructive way. Really want to moderate drinking but hope not to drink today.remains to be seen if i can cope with moderate drinking on saturday at a family meal.
Have drank daily for years.... from a few glasses of wine to........ a bottle and a half of wine.

Its the shame I cant bear the shame if I get liver disease (probably have it anyway by now)It seems futilel to have poisoned myself for so long...thats addiction for you.
I hope using this sight , the power of prayer and trying to plan in advance my evenings that new beginnings are ahead.

Godd Luck to everybody who has planned not to drink today...we can do it????????

Regards Cassy:

hello to you all

Cassy, welcome to the MWO family! :welcome:

Don't be too hard on yourself - the fact that you're even trying to stop says that you are admitting you have a problem and want to deal with it.

Time to hold the head up high and start planning your new life! I encourage you to get and read the MWO book if you haven't already, lots of good stuff in there. Also, you'd be surprised how resilient the body is - it can bounce back from just about anything, you just need to give it the chance.

Start out one day at a time (sounds like you have a plan in place for tonight already), and go from there. Best of luck to you, and again, welcome!

Cassy,

Welcome to MWO, I believe this is one of the BEST steps you can take to start or continue your journey to moderation or abs. You are already putting steps in place to replace or occupy yourself form alcohol. That's great!

If you have not yet I highly recommend you read the Book (download it on web site)

Read the posts here as much as you can...ask lots of questions...get the supplements

And most of all you will find the members here understanding, supportive and helpful...we all want each other to succeed

Prayers and blessing to you!!!
