widget read your last post in this thread where you don't know how to do this. AA is a good start as split image suggested. the other thing i'd like to share is acceptance is the key. you have the desire to possibly stop drinking. accepting, not just admitting, you have a problem with alcohol is the beginning of overcoming your problem. i remember i thought, gosh then i'll have to grow up and be responsible to self. it was a scary thought. but that is exactly what i needed to do. grow up and take responsibility of the problem. no one can do it for you. you have to want to change for it to occur. sounds like you are beginning that journey. glad you're staying in on friday. that is part of the solution. people, places and things help cause us to drink. staying away from those temptations will help you.
best wishes and keep posting. we're here for you.
