I'm new here - just found the site today. I've been having problems with drinking for a long time and am in counselling, which is helping some, though I still don't seem to be able to stay sober or drink sensibly all the time. This site seems very friendly and supportive after some of the others I've visited, which just made me feel worse about myself. So, just to introduce myself, I'm in my 40ies, female, work from home and have 3 children, only one of whom is still at home, the others being grown up.

I would either like to not drink at all or to drink sensibly - not sure but I am sure that I need to take more action than I am at the moment.

Thank you for listening.

Uda, it's wonderful to have you here!! You will find a lot of great people with lots of great support.

I would encourage you to get the book and supplements, which will go a long way in helping you decide whether you want to moderate or stop altogether.

Welcome uda...you have found a very supportive group of people here...I am doing the same thing. So far I have managed 21 day AF {alcohol free}... and one planned night out and only had 3 glasses of wine and quit after that. Now I am back on the AF plan and fell good and in control. The cd's are wonderful, the book I recommend and use the drink tracker...some are useing meds that work well for them and knowing you are not alone and there is always someone to talk to on here has helped me more than anything. Good luck and look forward to getting to know you....

Hi Uda.
Welcome. Its a huge first step and you have just taken it. Which either you choose moderation or abstainince, it can be done. I have chosen abs and have crossed my first year.

Here you will find a lot of support, friendship, humor and much more to help you through the road ahead that I wont tell you is easy. I still have my tough spots.

I wish you all the success in the world. I'm glad your here.

Welcome Uda :welcome:

This is a great place to share what you are feeling without any reservation or being judged. This is the outlet most of us don't have in our regular day to day lifes. That's what I find here. Like the others said, read the book, get the hypnotic CDs and supplements, the combination of it all does amount to give you a better chance of sucess.
