Hi Big Z! and
I'd say you have a LOT in common with a bunch of us here. That's probably how we all ended up finding this place! Liking the way drinking makes us feel...
There's no doubt I enjoy having my beer. But I know I have to be VERY VIGILANT and mindful about it when I'm drinking. No more straight shots of cuervo...like I used to do... but at least I can enjoy a few glasses of wine or beer without feeling like a "hopeless bumm" in need of a meeting...
I've tried just about everything there is as far as re-hab, (in -patient, out-patient, impatient... you name it...AA...)
THIS WORKS!

FOR ME! And apparently for quite a few of us! Welcome aboard! Glad you found us!
Big Hugs,
Judie
