    Hello everyone,

    i have been looking at this website and viewing your comments for months. I finally after years of drinking daily anywhere from 1 pint to 1 1/2 pints decided to join this community. I NEED help! My husband and I have tried twice to wean me off alcohol, and but i would just go and drink before i got home, so i got double. just like an alcholic. Yesterday we had a beneift for my someone in my family that is in end stage liver disease from alcohol, and guess what i did? Got Drunk. My husband told me that this time he was leaving, he slept on the couch last night. I have never felt so empty and alone. Please pray fror me and my family as we go through this difficult time. I have found new strength and know i can do it this time.

    Hi JackDanielsGirl and :welcome: This forum is what got me started on the path to sobriety. That is true for many of us here. You can do it too. Have you read the book? That's a great place to start I think.

      Welcome JDGirl,
      There is lots of support here for you.
      Glad you found the site and way to go on wanting to kick this demon.

        Hi JD girl,

        I know exactly what you're going through and let me tell you you are not alone. I am in the same boat right now. My husband found out I was drinking the other night (just another of many nights!) and still won't speak to me two days later. (He has also slept on the couch after a fight over drinking). It has been a constant battle for me the past few months and my husband is fed up. He is going to Al-Anon meetings and I am going back to AA today. It's going to be a long and difficult journey but one that I know I personally need to make. I really don't know when it got so bad for me but it's to a point where I really have to confront my addiction (it took me 9 years to realize that it is an addiction!) and need to take action. This is a great place for advice and support. I hope that things get better for you. Just remember that everyone here has been where you are and you are not alone!
        Post when you can-it really helps!

Yesterday was the worst my husband, is monitoring my intake and if i need it for withdrawl he will give me just enough to subside the withdrawl. its soo hard but i dont have the time to take off work for inpatient treatment. My goal is by July 5th i can go AF. Please pray for me.

            Jdgirl I did tapering too after drinking daily for almost ten years. It took me a week to get down to nothing and each day you are cutting down you have to really do work and remind yourself why you are doing this. For me I looked at it like a medical treatment and not that I was denying myself anything (excess alcohol). I also used Smart Recovery to help change my thinking and behaviors. I have been AL free for almost 4 months now and my life is completely different and much better. You can do this!
            AL free since March 17th 2011...loving this life. No drinking no matter what.

            Hi my name is Lori and i am so happy to be here.
