Hi All,

I learned about this sub from another today, and I'm glad I did.

I developed a habit of (nearly) daily drinks to deal with the emotions of my elderly father moving in with me in Jan. 2015, and watching him decline. When he died, the habit stayed 😔 It became hard to deal with emotions instead of numbing.

I set a million dates and circumstances for when I would quit. Most didn't work, hoping this is the one! (Side note: my "date" was July 14th...but I happened to not drink on July 13th, so I got a free day 😉).

Today is nine days since I've had a drink. Seeing so many going through the same thing helps. I love to see that so many have come so far. I feel that this sub could be a great resource for me.
