Welcome to the site, you have come to a really good place! You will surely figure out your goal in time. I can relate to not wanting people in your small community to find out about some of the things we are dealing with. The most important thing right now is to gain control of your alcohol consumption. Do try eliminating alcohol altogether and see how this goes. For me, it was difficulty in the beginning, but the best decision i've ever made. Post here anytime you have questions or just need some support.
I can agree that the first drink would be a huge temptation for me! For this reason I have quit drinking completely. Other temptations I have are parties, celebrations, going out for nice meals.... there are a lot of difficult moments. Ultimately, I want to remain sober so i choose not to drink!
I sort of went through something similar; however, for me it was more like when I was drinking that I didn't really feel like myself. And stopping drinking was allowing me to feel the way I felt before. I'm not sure if that makes any sense. So for me quitting drinking, was enabling me to get back to my normal self.
Oh wow, I just noticed this! I am honoured and so thankful for this message! Thanks Leanne!
I have been rewarding myself throughout this whole experience! Being nice to myself, buying new clothes, new accessories! Enjoying every minute of life!
Welcome to our support community! You have come to a really great place. Finding this site really helped me to achieve a "better" me without alcohol. I came here really discouraged and embarassed about many things that I had done. With the help of the toolbox and members encouraging me I was able to make the decision to lead a life without alcohol included. In the beginning it was hard for me to tell everyone in my life that I was going to quit drinking because I knew they would not believe me. I had attempted previously to cut down my drinking and fell back into my old ways. I knew that even though some people doubted my efforts, I was determined to prove to everyone and myself that I could do this. And this time for good! Anyway, I know it's not easy and it requires sacrifice, determination and lots of effort. In the end, it is so worth it! My body is happy, my relationship is a lot better and my friends and family are happy with me! If you have any questions, just ask! I'm here....
