They say Hello is a start

[06F150STX]

Hello everyone. I've been on here for a few weeks. After reading stuff on here, I thought I was in the right place. I was doing good after a member started to PM me everyday, asking how I was doing. Then he/she stop. I lost confidence then. Thinking there is no one out there to help me. I just ordered the book, "My Way Out" and I wish it was here now. I'm trying everything I have to stop drinking for my wife and 2 kids. They are 9 and 2. I don't want them to see me doing it, and think it's ok for them to do it when they are grown. I'm in this for the GOOD of of my Family and I would love to see you guys helping me out or any advice you can share with me. I know it's hard, but I'm willing.

Thanks
Randall

I am fairly new here also. My advice would be keep posting. I found all the people here very supportive and friendly and willing to help. Just ask them i am sure they will. also read alot here you will be suprised how much it helps. The thing I love about this community is they are so open minded and supportive. AL is a bitch trust me I know.

good Luck keep reading keep posting

Randall, Welcome....I am happy that you ordered the book. It is very helpful to assist in beginning to understand the Big Picture of all of this. I encourage you to begin in the Newbies section of this site. Perhaps the Newbies Nest thread. Start your own threads, perhaps join in live chat.

There is a lot of support here, not always one on one through pm's, but also on the big board. You will shortly figure out how this all works, if you haven't already figured it out.

MWO..was the KEY to me getting alcohol out of my life. MWO has worked for many. Yes, there is hope for a brighter future!

Best Wishes,
Kate

Hi Randall,
I would not take it personally if someone stops pm-ing - there are so many of us here, and we are all trying to help each other - and at the same time we are trying to do everything else in our lives too. You could try starting a thread in just starting out and look for some buddies - that might help to get a group together who are going through the same things at the same time.
Good goals - stop Al for your wife and kids. They are important and need you sober. Keep reading and posting. Have you had an AF day yet?
