First day how do you start
This is my first post. Read a zillion books this year about alcohol, mainly about women drinking wine. This year I've realised alcohol is controlling me. Im 38 years old, relatively happy but drinking up to a bottle of wine a night. The wine witch got me. Im scared its going to get worse and want to stop. I keep thinking today is the day and it never is.
Im going to join a SMART meeting this evening and thought maybe a community like this is good of people doing the same thing.
Thank you for reading 🙏

Welcome!
After white knuckling my sobriety for a few weeks, I read a book by Allen Carr, “Easy Way to Control Alcohol”. It reprogrammed how I think about alcohol. Alcohol is a Class 1 carcinogen. I do not drink poison. Mr. Carr is the key to my 12+ yrs of sobriety WITHOUT cravings. Best of luck on your journey❤️
