First Time Posting.

This is my first time posting here. I’ve looked at this sub before but always thought that I was ok to keep drinking a little. But last night was the last straw for me. I drank far too much and don’t remember the night ending. My husband said I was cruel and demeaning. He said I said some really mean stuff (stuff I don’t even actually feel). I’m just so sad. I had such a great time with family and my drinking ruined the night and today. I’m so ashamed. I thought posting here might help me really start this journey. Day 1…

Hi an welcome! There's no judgment, just support. We all started where you are. Drinking that bit too much, feeling ashamed, an wanting to quit. So, in the next few days, weeks or months you might change your mind or think that it wasn't too bad. ( it's OK to think that) the problem might be that actually, it was that bad. The joy of this sub is that there are people around to help encourage you an support you through those moments. To help remind you that giving up is better than going back. Be strong an be kind to yourself. Your about to go on a hard journey. Chin up! IWNDWYT
