I was referred to this site by a friend... yay, another site to run my mouth!!
I started drinking when I was 15. Quit when I was 23. Went to AA for awhile.
Started drinking again when I was 30. Got really bad there for some time, then I reigned it in and did pretty well.
I have come to the conclusion that I can moderate for only a short time, then it starts getting worse again. Back and forth, back and forth. I can't do it for the long term.
I'm done. Finished.
Friday night was pretty rough. Last night wasn't too bad. I know what my triggers are and I think I can avoid them. LOTS of iced tea helps...
I have the feeling that if I don't stop, right now, and stay sober, the bottom is gonna fall out from under me, mentally, physically, ecumenically. That's one hell of a motivation.
Thanks for listening, I'll be hanging around for awhile...
