Hello and welcome.
A lot of us doesn’t have English as their first language, and some of us has more than one Native language.
I’m Swedish with more than one native language (parents from two different countries)
Married to a guy who was raised in Balkan,Sweden and Ukraine. (He’s not a part of the community)
This is a great community with people from all over the world. Take a loon around, read some threads and get involved.
I hope you’ll like it here.

Welcome. Many countries have cultures that are very connected to drinking. It makes it harder, but with effort, you can do it. Be strong to be different.

Hi everyone, This is my first post. I’m a binge drinker at least once a week or twice. I also smoke when I drink so it’s really 2 things I’m giving up. I think I do it out of habit because I’ve mostly always done it except in my pregnancies. It makes me happy at the time but I can get extra emotional about stuff that really doesn’t matter. Friday after work will be my first challenge.
I live in Melbourne, Australia and I’ts almost 10pm so goodnight everyone 🫶🏻
