Pink, alot of us are just like you...have careers, have children....read, read, read...post....read some more. Get the book, supps...read some more Bury yourself in this site for awhile...that is what I did, I am now working on my 7th week AF. HUGE accomplishment for me. I never thought I'd see the day. This site and the people here have saved my life. Glad you found us!!!

Welcome Pink, I too was a wine person, it just built up over the years and like you, felt very much in control. Again, like you, I didn't like the person I was becoming - moody, resentful, depressed, snappy, bitter.....the list goes on. I would wake up and think what happened last night, how did I get here? did I say goodnight to my kids?? etc etc etc. Then one day at the end of April I found this site and my life changed. I read the book, got the vits, the cds and posted on here several times a day. Today I'm day 30AF. Its not been an easy month, but a life-changing one and I like to think a life-saving one too. Good luck! Janicexx

Hi Pink: I've been here since April. During May I've had about 9 drinking days (which is pretty good for me). This site has been so helpful. I too hate the black-outs...I find them more troubling than the hangovers. Good luck. You can do it.
Flip: Your words & your sobriety is so inspiring.

Welcome Pink and Bootcampbarbie!! Great job!!

I applaud everyone of you for both being inspirational and honest with where you are at. We can do this!!

There was a thread started a few months back on pros and cons to drinking, I am going to start a new one right here in getting started.

Hugs and Love to all,
Mary

hello all, i was moved and inspired by reading all of your posts. i was thinking wow, just how many bottles of wine can i consume in a week. i was doing okay at even one bottle at a time but then i noticed i could get up to 1 1/2 or even 2 and i only weigh 115 lbs. so uh not exactly pretty site. lol am grateful to have day 4 going and am thinking my head is hurting, bad nite sleep and all of that is better than picking up a bottle of wine on the way home. so thanks for being here. the only reason i didn't do it was because i knew i could come home, make tea and do some posts and read your posts for inspiration. phew. now that is a beautiful thing.

Hi Pink,

We are all so similar! My colleagues have no idea what I really am. Quite the opposite, I am the essence of healthy living, vegetarian, exercising regularly, looking fantastic – shall I go on? I am tired of having to go to work every Monday with a headache, recovering by Tuesday and then repeating it all every weekend. I am on day 3 with full intention to go as far as I can this time. Wish you luck!

Hi Pink, and all the other new members that I haven't welcomed recently,

I found this place in november and it really has been an inspiration to me ....

I actually went to bed last night and left half a bottle of wine, 6 months ago I couldn't have it in the house as I was drinking 2-3 bottles every day .....

All the best, Love BB xx
