Hi. I started the thread "One is too many, three is not enough. HELP".
Now I am starting a new one.
Once again I'm going to try to quit. My husband drinks socially but can stop. My son never liked me drinking. My son will have a couple of beers now and again. Sigh.Why can't I do that? A friend is taking me to an AA meeting next week. He goes regularly.
I don't believe in a God or a higher power, but I have to find something that helps me. Second of all I am afraid to go to the meeting because of embarrassment. Then, how do I say to my friends that I don't drink anymore, when they ask me out? I don't want to drink. I want to have a sober life. I feel like I am going to be bored out of my mind. After work every day I stop for a few glasses of wine. Please help.
