It seems like for the past week or so we have all been all over the road with either highs or very big lows, so if I could I'd love to give us all a big GROUP HUG take a deep breath and be thankful we found TSM no matter where we're at right now in the flow of things.

Update on where I'm at, drinking like I did pre-tsm and telling myself I'm too early in to see much of a change, but the taste of wine still is AWFUL (doesn't keep me from drinking it though). Now, my SO whom I was so fearful that he wouldn't do tsm correctly is doing fantastic! go figure? His drinking is way down, no slurs, alert, intelligent conversations and I feel he's coming back to me the way I remember him before the FALL of AL and I need to come back as well as he probably remembers me.

When I first found tsm and this board I said that it was God who showed us a way of escape and I totally believe it and just maybe He did it for you too.

I'm in!!

I am in too.
As for God sending you this way, it was a sermon by my pastor that, at least at the time, was the final push for me to approach my wife and Dr. about TSM. I may have arrived there at another time, but it was the don't just sit back and pray speech. Use your strengths and skills God gave you. My skills were not in line w/ 12 steps, evidenced by several, mostly forced, attempts. They are analytical as most of the participants here seem to be.
And here's a pat on the back to all to go along w/ the hug.

That's written kisses and hugs in our family!!

Count me in! Although my drinking hasn't diminished much, and like you corkit, the wine does taste AWFUL!! But not awful enough to make me stop, I feel a new sense of being and purpose just coming to these forums and reading about everyone's ups and downs. It makes one feel not so alone. I'm thinking a whole lot more about life in general and having a more positive attitude just reading everything here. And last night I drank only about 6 units instead of my usual 12. Glad to be a part of all this. HUGS!!

Petal thank you, you said exactly what I was thinking, but in a much better way than I could have, my fingers don't type what my brain is thinking.
Big hugs to us all, the old, the new and the ones not yet started.

Lovely, count me in too!
