I'm a new member although I must admit that I've been reading all of your posts for a couple of months. Your stories and kindness among each other have really inspired me to the point of finally doing something about my need to drink everyday.
I come from a family of heavy drinkers. My memories of growing up are both happy and sad but It was all based on booze. Dad, Mom, Aunt, Uncle, .....drunk, drunk, drunk, and drunk. Don't get me wrong, I love my family but all of the above are dead, dead ,dead, and dead. My three siblings and myself all have the same party mentality. We all are reponsible people with good careers but my goodness why do we need to drink to feel like we're having fun! On August 13th I decided that I had enough. I told my boyfriend of twelve years that I was terrified of not drinking but was going to try. He is not much of a drinker and was so sad (and mad) watching me drink myself silly and then pass out. I have not had a drink since. I have the vitamins and I've ordered the book. I'm not sure if I will try being moderate because it's way to early for me to make that kind of decision. Although it has been only 19 days, I can honestly say that I haven't felt this good in years. I want to thank everyone for your stories and for making me feel good instead of feeling like a total loser.( and I haven't even talked to anyone yet!) I'll keep you posted!
Warmest Regards,
Sola
