Greetings from Seattle, WA USA. On October 21, 2016 I stopped drinking in support of my fiance as he was starting some medication.
There were a couple very stressful moments where I was tempted to have “just one glass” of my former favorite Sauvignon Blanc but I know I’d drink the whole bottle and want more.
The anxiety, remorse, and hangover recovery was not how I wanted to spend my time, so I decided to stop.
I researched AA meetings and I haven’t yet found one I like. I was glad to find this community and the app. I’m looking forward to continuing my alcohol free life, and getting to know you.

Hey @Linda_Eaves! Sounds like you are going down the right path. That’s awesome you were trying to support a friend and ended up doing it for yourself in the end 
I hope you will find a meeting you enjoy. I only go to this one meeting I feel very comfortable at now for it is my home group. This community is awesome welcome. Happy sober day!

Thank you Steve, it’s been pretty easy so far. I haven’t tried going out to happy hour with friends yet or going dancing I wanted to get a couple months under my belt before I tackled that type of situation. Does anyone have any suggestions for that?
