    Reached my limit!!!

    Hello everyone - I have been watching this site, thinking "I can do this on my own" though I have failed moderation or abs several times. I experience many of the usual disease affects - hiding booze, drinking privately and secretly, drinking anything and everything that = alcohol. I have multiple health problems but am too addicted to take care of me. I had an alcoholic sister that died @ age 46, i've worked in health care for >30 years, and I surely should know to stop. My favorite saying "I am so smart I'm dumb"!! Looking forward to the programs help - where would you recommend I start??:new:

      Hi, Mac.

      The Newbies Nest (link below) is a great place to start. If you read back a few pages, you'll get the gist of what is going on and then when you feel like it, jump on in!
      The toolbox also might help you - it is full of good ideas.

              Hi Mac,

              Count me in on that support train! One of the first things I did was write down the reasons I wanted to be alcohol free. From the heart. It wasn't easy but it was a wake up call. I reread that list a lot. And now, at 69 days AF, I have lots more to add that I couldn't have imagined, including much improved health.

              I haven't been AF for this long in 20+ years. As incredible Brydie would say, Velcro your butt to this site. Read, post, repeat. We're all here for this same reason - to kick al to the curb and to support each other.

              You go girl - we're here to help!

                  Welcome, Mac.

                  I agree with all of the above. You won't regret getting sober. I look forward to seeing you around!

                      Encouraged!

                      Thank you all for your support, information and inspirational advice. I'm anxious to get AF & take my life back!!! Wondering about the CD's - I have been considering hypnosis but not offered in my community. This site is awesome.

                        Hi Mac, welcome and like you said, this site is awesome... I will give full credit to the people here for their unwavering support if and when I ever get to the point where I feel I am successful.

                        Speaking of sticking close to this site does anyone know how to make MWO appear on my android as an app or an icon like facebook where I can just click and voila, it opens. That would be very handy as, I too, NEED to stay close if I hope to succeed in my sobriety.
