Thanks for the post Pboy. I too am or rather was a binge drinker. Could go several months without a drink or just having a couple social drinks, but inevitably the time would come were I would drink more than I intended. Usually feeling depressed and embarassed aftward. Then after a bit of time would pass the event would be forgotten and the pattern repeated.
Looking back I don't know why I didn't have a wake-up call sooner after one of those events. I have just started in AA, so am hopeful that will be the tool for me to say NO.
Anyway, I appreciate the post as it elicited responses helpful to myself as well.
