Hi folks.i have decided to stop drinking again,it's been coming along time!75 units a week I got it down to and thought I was doing well because I had them over 4 days having 3 off!great eh!?as I'm sure you all know life is a monster struggle because of drink and I'm having a moment of clarity where I'm just so tired of being ill. I'm 50lbs overweight because of drink and seem just to be living to get to a drink to feel good.self medicating as it were.this is my day one!best regards to all.

Hi.
It would help if you perhaps looked into why you don’t feel good and work on that in conjunction with not drinking?
BE WELL

Meetings are a great idea. If you go to meetings and ask for help you will get it. For me the drink got to where it didn't make me feel better at all until I was passed out into oblivion. Its a bad feeling when the only solution you know of isn't a solution anymore. I had to ask for help.

Every time I wanted a drink I came here. If someone was in the chat room I went there, if not I posted. People were so supportive. You can do this and we are here to help. One day at a time, you got this. I am proud of you for trying again. Never give up.
