Hello I am new here , I've be a drinker for years, and on Wenesday morning I woke up to find that my husband had found my stash of 'empty' wine bags... even I was shocked, and with that I decided I need to stop, So many mornings waking up not recalling even going to bed, I should tell you that he hasnt drank in a couple years, he also dumped what I had out. I was 2 days trying with that being said I am sipping on a wee bit i had in my sewing box that is in a iced tea bottle not enough to waste but just to take the edge off . my husband is in the other room .. he said he would help, but I am always alone , I have 2 young adult children that are just starting there lives ,I own a farm with sheep and horses 4 dogs and some wonderful cats that are now my only friends, Im hoping to find some support here. [I] usually start about 3 in the afternoon till when ever, Ive read many post over the last 3 nights, Im just hoping to find some friends here that can really help, I so want to stop this. Thanks

Hi Booboo :welcome:

I'm glad you found your way here.
There are lots of people here who will be happy to support you.

If you can find your way to the Newbies Nest in the "just starting out section" that's a good place to join in and talk, but you're welcome to join in any of the threads.

I have young adult children who have left home too, so I understand how hard it is to adjust to life in an empty nest. I'm sure you'll find lots of new friends here. :h

Hi, Booboo111,

Welcome. I've been on MWO since the middle of last Dec. and I have read such good advice and had so much support here. It's great that you've been reading here. Keep reading and posting and find posters you like and PM them. I find on here when I ask I receive.

It's wonderful that you have your husband's support. My advice is that you be honest with him so that he understands your struggle.

You can get sober. Many of us on here have done it when we doubted we ever could.

Hi Boo Boo: It's so great you found us! :welcome:

Reading around is good start. That's how I began (seeming a zillion years ago! ) I also followed RJ's programme of Supps and Hypnos CDs as well as -for me- the Topamax.

It was a good start. The Newbie Nest and The Tool box links are in my signature. Why not pop over. Lots of good people there.

you touch my heart because I was a hidden drinker. I would be...mortified... if hubby found me out. So Difficult.

Even though I am off the stuff, I couldn't work through him knowing. well, without help from . . . .

hello

I am also new here and also hoping to find support and give support. I did well on Day 1 and 2 , then Friday hit and I drank a bottle of wine with dinner and then relaxing watching movies. So back to square one for me. This is hard and am glad we found this forum !

I have been drinking more heavily for about a year. and went from a social occasional drinker, never during the week....to drinking everyday starting after work at about 9 pm to bedtime.

hello and thank you for the support, I had a good day today, and no real edgy feelings > I found a good book, and a cup of rooibos tea helps me relax and get tierd at night, I am although restless threw the night with some very strange dreams, Right know I am watching a movie and I think I'm going to make it threw the whole thing, that never happens. Thanks again to everyone , I hope one day I can be able to help some one like me ..
