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?

My RAS has 102 day clean
My son has 102 days clean, :a122:.
We went to court last Thursday for a prelim hearing for probation violation, they wanted to put him in jail for 20 days, but since he has been in a 28 day treatment facility and already served that many days in jail after he got out, they released him and he is now done with the court system except for his fines and PO visits. I am so proud of him. I have just spent the last 2 days helping him set up his house and getting everything ready for school that starts tommorrow. He also starts his new job this week.
It is just so awesome to see him take responsibility for the first time in along time. I know I am not supposed to count on the future too much but it is hard not to get excited when thinking about how this nightmare might actually be over for awhile, if not forever.
Now I can concentrate on getting myself and my finances straightened out, getting straight A's in school(LOL) and moving on with my life. I am just so happy tonight I had to share with all of you.
Love to you all,
Barb
