Well, i never told why im quitting for awhile so here it goes. Im 41 and been drinking since i was 14. I have had a great happy life no real tramatic story as to why i drink other than it makes me feel good and happy…for awhile. I drink when my day is stressful, to celebrate, to relax, when im mad, sad or happy. I drink to be social or just to unwind alone. I have hurt people i love because of bad decisions while drinking…i have regrets. Drinking was not fun anymore and i found myself drinking alone and hinding it from my family. I want to be a better person, i want to feel better. Im not sure honestly how long i can go, but its been 4 days and i feel amazing. Nights are the hardest for me. Sooo that is why in a nutshell. Im doing this for me. My husband has told me for years to get help but i needed to make the decision for myself. I love this group and the support it brings. Without it…i may have picked up a drink ladt night…so thank you.
