I’m brand new to this and very afraid to quit….
Hi everyone. I don't know what led me to this site, but I'm glad to be here. I'm a middle age woman who is a former model and still attractive....but drinking is taking it's toll with my personality, weight, finances, etc...
I keep it all together...by the skin of my teeth and know that NOW is the time to do something positive. I'm SO SCARED to quit drinking cause it's all I've known in my social life and I'm so afraid I won't be "loose" enough to have fun if I don't drink. My husband and I entertain alot and I feel that I'm a boring person without alcohol in me.
Can anyone give me some first baby steps to help me?

new to this forum
three months, three weeks sober. but brand new to this forum, so i guess i just thought i'd say hello. i'm finding sobriety lonely as hell, and i guess i thought this might be a nice place to come and talk about it (sobriety). i'm your garden variety drunk, really. been living in london for two plus years, used ever day, all day. before that in new york, same thing some times replaced with bulimia. five years constant use of some substance. booze specifically, although i was deemed a hallucinogenic addict in rehab as well. moved back from london to my parents home in the bible belt, hence the lonely sentiments of late. anyway, that's me, just wanted to say hello.

Hey all,
Well, I've been sober since Nov 2nd. Been quite a ride. I struggled with the whole "I'm an alcoholic" label for a while, but last night, I made myself say it out loud. No turning back now... I'm looking into some AA meetings, but the closest place I can find is about 45 mins away, so it'll take some preparation, but I'm going to make the trips, at least once a week.
On a lighter note, I stumbled on this site by accident. I didn't know what track marks were, so I googled an image and it lead me here. Weird how that is... So this is a nice place. Between here, my friend (who is in treatment for marijuana addiction), and some good ol AA, I feel good about this.
The cravings are still there, so I have turned to coffee. This is why I'm at 2:45 AM randomly looking up track marks.
This is me, I look forward to talking with you guys

Hi Ladies-I’m new
Hi there, I'm brand new..and I need some help and support. Nothing new or unique to my story but I'm struggling with alcoholism and I can't seem to stop. I'm only 19 so I'm scared that this is going to be the main theme of my whole life and I definetly don't want that. Anyways any support or suggestions would we welcome.
