So I thought I take a stab at this... I am not very good at opening up.

New here but I've been lurking and wrestling with posts here of total abstaining or cutting back. I realize that I won't be able to cut back. I've been a pretty steady drinker since 8th grade with a couple of years of quitting. I'm 58 now and it feels that it is TIME TO STOP!

Ok, now that's the rational side.... then there's the rest of the story, catching a buzz has always been a part my recreation, playing music late into the night and sipping along into oblivion, listening to sports on my truck radio (no tv) and sipping along, sitting out at night looking at the stars, enjoying the peepers and sipping along, but now it just seems that I really get smashed every night. Damn what a hard habit to break.

Anyway, I'm trying the kudzu and just received the cd set. I will persevere!

I humbly thank this site's existence and all who are here.

Wish me luck
