Welcome Art,

This program is a great place to get started. You will find lots of tips and information in the sessions - have you had a chance to get started yet? You will also find lots of great discussions in these forums - be sure to use the search functionality to find discussions that pertain to your situation.

That is great that you have been able to abstain for a week before - how were you able to do that?

oops. meant to say, moderation doesn't work for many of us.

There is a Moderation Management group, you may google it and see if you can find some help. Many of us here have to find it the hard way that moderation works. Atleast for me. I went from hard liquor to beer and wine and not storing in home to drinking only in the eve. But end of the drinking career, it was back to square one. Worse part was, it was not helping my emotions. I was easily perturbed, became a nasty person to be around.

I'm a medical student and have been drinking a lot since I came to this country. Ive been having a hard time stopping since I started. I've gotten so drunk the last couple of days that I don't remember ANYTHING about this weekend. I feel like **** and just want to talk to someone that can help me cut down on. I've lasted a whole week without drinking and am mostly doing this because a girl I like hates it when I drink, and I feel like she views me as a monster when I drink. Just please give me some advice. I'm willing to do everything but see a healthcare professional.
