Talking hi all day 1 and counting need ur help

Hi guys

I ve been down this path before trying to quit. Iam 28 yrs old and alcohol has begun messing with my mind, causing depression, isolation from friends and loved ones and a general feeling of hopelessness. I am a chef and are having difficulty keeping a job and always seem to make some excuse as to why this last job sucked. In the back of my head i know the real reason, my drinking. It seems everything i did was done with a drink, reading, cooking, tv, porn haha etc. My drinking was always the heaviest when i was feeling the best and in 6 hrs i would feel like total sh*t. Why do we do this to ourselves? Cant i just enjoy life and my accomplishments with out destroying them with alcohol? Well today i joined S.R. and are going to make a serious attempt at sober living with your help. I am excited and scared i've gone at the most 7 days sober in the past 4 yrs with a few single days mixed in their on really bad hangover days. One day at a time seems to be the name of the game. Wish me luck!! Off to my new job!

Best

Matt
