Hi all!
I just signed up and,as my name implies, am optimistic this group/program will help me reach my goal. I have been abusing alcohol for a few years now (I used to be just a one or two social drinks drinker). I have no idea when or why my drinking started escalating, but when I finally realized I had a problem, I didn't know what to do. Although my husband is the most wonderful supporter, listener and my all-around best friend, he cannot help me as much as he so desperately wants to. I have never heard of any groups other than AA and knowing that it would not be of any help to me, I set out on my own to stop my binge drinking. Backslide after backslide later, I browsed the Internet for answers. This seems like the place and the group of people that can help save me from myself! I have had several rock bottom incidents but the other day my husband told me that the night before I had threatened him with a knife if he didn't give me back my bottle of Vodka. It's not always but I can drink to blackout and this was one of them. I guess the bottom line is that I am sick of myself being like this. I am sick of seeing the hurt in his eyes. I am sick of missing out on so much of life because I'm afraid of the prospect of being sober all day. I miss me and I miss my life. I am here to take it back!
