New Here
I have finally come to terms that I am an alcoholic and have been for years. It is nothing to sit at home and drink 6-12 beers alone on any given night and wake up without a hangover - more on the weekends. I KNOW it isn't healthy but for the past few years, it has been the only thing to help me sleep and really just become a habit. Leave work, work out, go home, pop open a beer. So now, I have to struggle and find other things to do to keep myself occupied in the evenings. And even harder, keep from drinking when my husband is home from offshore. He will have a few in the evening, but usually no where near as much as me.
I am tired of the weight gain, all the money spent, and some times not remembering conversations because I was loaded. So, now I need tips, encouragement and support to try to finally quit this downward spiral.
