Change Needed
Went to the hospital in Vegas for alcohol poisoning last month. Blacked out..woke up in a hospital bed, scary as hell. As if that wasn't enough...I just got a DUI a couple nights ago. When I have so much going for me (good job, great family, amazing new bf) - my self destructive drinking (at the age of 25) is slowly and surely hurting me and my relationships. I need to stop drinking all together I feel like - once I get in the zone of around 3 drinks..It's like a Dr. Jekyl/Mr. Hyde moment. I get angry, emotional, IMPULSIVE. What is everyone else doing to start fresh? What's the long term recommendation? Am I an alcoholic? I work in an industry where social drinking is the norm. I feel like I couldn't escape the occasions of being exposed to alcohol. I want to change, I'm afraid to lose it all.
