I lied to myself about my problem for way too long. I was at the point of regular blackouts. I told myself I could stop, I just didn't want to. But then when I tried to stop for a weekend, I could only make it till Sunday afternoon. Since I've stopped drinking, I've found more benefits than I expected. I thought I was a funtional drunk because I had a job, etc. Now I can't believe I let it go for so long. I can't believe how much different I feel. It was a pleasant surprise. I never thought I'd be someone who drinks tea on a Sunday afternoon. As for myself, I was fed up, woke up one morning after using a snow day as a reason to get sloshed, and went to a meeting that day. I knew I was ready. But everyone is different, and that's why being here is so great. You'll find others like you, and learn from others who are not like you.
Welcome!
