Admitted to our counselor that I'm an alcoholic
Big day today. I knew it was a long time coming. The wife confronted me last week and I realized it was time to come clean and just admit that once I start drinking, I can't seem to regulate myself and moderate. I get carried away and before you know it, I can't even have a conversation with my wife.
I think I've been drinking pretty heavily for 3 years. I haven't had liquor for quite some time, but would drink wine and beer until I was well over the line.
6 days sober and I don't want to look back. I've got some counseling and off to AA tomorrow. Also looking into Celebrate Recovery.
It isn't really that hard to stop for me. It's proving to my wife that I actually mean it and also apologizing for all of the lies and hurt I've caused.
Oh well......I have to admit. In only 6 days, things seem so much brighter and better. For the first time since I left the military, I've actually been thinking about how nice it'd be to wake up at a decent hour and not at noon during vacation.
This forum is great, btw!
