Well, here I am.  I am an alcoholic but I have had enough.  This is the very first time I have used that term to describe myself.  I've thought it... and I've pussy footed around using it, but it is the first time I have typed it out. 
My last drink was on April 3, 2010 and I am glad to report that I did not get drunk that night.  But that is the night I admitted I had a problem.  Well, I had admitted it a couple of years earlier, but continued to believe lies that I could control it.  But I can't.  I am powerless over wine.  Scotch doesn't give me a problem... but I have had enough of that too. 

So on April 4th, wanting to get totally drunk, I texted a friend.  He helped me.  Tremendously...
I am trying to find support in a community.  Where I live, I think the ANONYMOUS part maybe doesn't really exist... and I'm not ready to tell the whole county about this.  Probably I never will.
