Hey everyone. I have known for a while that I have a problem with alcohol, but really I've been too scared to try and stop. I woke up this morning, feeling terrible, and on my way to work I just decided, this is it. The plain truth about me is that I NEVER want one beer. I want ALL the beer.
So, today is my day one. I'm F/29 and I've been thinking about quitting for 2 years now. That's a long time. Both of my parents are alcoholics and another family member just was diagnosed with a 40% chance of living five more years, that's IF he quits drinking. He's only 45
talk about a wake up call for me.
I think most of what I'm worried about is that my life is going to have to change. All my friends hang out and drink. We go to bars to watch football, for birthday parties, after playing softball. I don't know how to 'hang-out' without beer.
I'm also going to go to an AA meeting. I'm scared out of my mind about that, but I don't see me actually sticking to anything if I try to on my own.
So, that's me.
