Wanted to say hi and welcome you.....

I was a binge drinker too and thought the same as you that if i didn't drink every day then i didn't really have a problem or no one would take me seriously...
One thing i have learnt through SR and AA is that the amount of alcohol/drugs we consume has absolutely nothing to do with it.... its how we use these things and how they effect us that matters.

You know the main thing about here though that i like.... because its a recovery site... i rarely here people mention how much they drink... its about how they want to recover or are recovering.... so i dont feel so bad anymore that maybe i didn't drink more than most...

Someone said once here and i really liked it... its not a p*ssing compertition

Please take your time to read round, post, get to know people... they're a good bunch i think....

anyway... i was only going to say hi... got carried away with myself...

One bit of advice i'd like you to think about tho... as i said i was a binge drinker... but i starte to find that the longer i carried on drinking.... the shorter them gaps between drinks were becoming.

be well
