    Just saying hi!

    :new: Hi everyone. My name is Bridget, and I am 38 years old and live in New york. I have been reading this site for a few years now on and off, but this is my first time posting. Guess I am more ready than I used to be to start making some real changes. It is crazy how much I can relate to soo many of your stories. Looking forward to getting to know you all and working towards a happier and healthier version of myself

      Hi Bridget,

      I'm also glad your here! Super glad that you are wanting to live a healthier & happier life. Alcohol seems to rob many of us from living just that! :welcome:

        Just saying hi!

        Hi guys! Thank you for the warm welcome, I recognize you all from reading posts! Yes Molly, lots of Irish and a little Polish Not sure about an exact plan yet, going to check some things out tonight in the toolbox? I am guessing I will probably start with a goal of seven days, I have gone for periods of two to three weeks without drinking, but do not usually have a solid plan in place and I usually end up back to my old tricks At this point, I usually do not drink Mon-Wed, but start up for Thursday-Saturday. I have cut back to the point where I usually have three wines and 1-2 beers, but often times I will kick it up a notch. Always ends up the same, guilty, anxious, depressed....What am i not getting??lol-Anyways, excited to begin this journey....

            Hi Bridget!

            I'm glad you've found us! I can SO identify with the feelings of anxiety, guilt, depression, etc, etc. Those feelings are what finally made me quit. I could deal with the physical hangovers, but not the emotional ones!!

            I was a Monday-Sunday drinker, about a 12 pack per day...which led a whole pack of ciggies per day...ugh. After many attempts, the day finally came where I knew I just COULD NOT do this anymore!

            I will spare you the gory details (for now...lol). I just wanted to say Hello and Welcome! Please keep posting so we can get to know you!

                  Hi Bridget, Today is my first day too, and feel all the emotions your feeling.

                    Ethanol is a toxic chemical, why would I drink it?
