This is my first day (post) here… I am making it sometimes 2 weeks in a row alcohol free…( And seeing healthy benefits in such a short time) but CANNOT DO IT BY MYSELF… I don’t have anyone in my life I can trust or talk to about it without blabbing all my business to everyone. Maybe it’s just my perception of them but I need anonymity for a while…just to get a grip. Thanks for listening

Welcome. You are in a healthy and healing place. With the right mindset you will great! Your story sounds like me…33 days ago.
I had enough too. Survived my first weekend sober in a long long time. I feel optimistic because I joined this forum. Old me would’ve been in denial. The fact that we are here is a great thing! Let’s do this!

Day One for me here - I 'm certainly tired of making a fool of myself, 59 years of age.

A very old thread, but a time honored tradition of people who drink too much…the agony of being the fool again.
Let go of that version of your self…and discover who you are without the mind and emotional numbing of alcohol. It is so worth it.
