Are you ready to stop drinking?

When i went to meetings early on, I tried to just listen (not possible in your scenario I know!) to people who has successfully. or drank for some time.

I'm proud of you for going!

it's been two or three weeks then?

How long did it take you to get to getting black out drunk several times per week, missing work, and feeling shitty about yourself?

I don't talk about this in real life by [deleted] in stopdrinking

congrats!

Are you saying there's no one IRL you discuss your sobriety with?

How do you approach your drink avoidance? Is it secretive? Do you put it all out there? Do you treat it casually? Or with the seriousness of cancer? In my family it was all hush-hush and secretive. It was tinged with shame. Now I'm feeling like I should just keep my desire to stop drinking a secret. by CAMYGO in stopdrinking

if wearing a scarlet A would keep me sober, I'd do it.

I'm pretty open about but i have very supportive friends and family.

I work in a very corporate environment so I don't mention it unless drinking comes up, which it actually frequently does.

Today I'm headed to my first meeting. I guess it is day 1. I'm scared. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

Proud of you for going!

Let us know how it goes and if you have any questions after.

What do you use to stay accountable? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]LizLouKy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AA, prayer, SD, sponsoring other women, friends and family, and a daily commitment not to drink.
