Yep, I did that Simpleman! Started talking to myself out loud: "going to have to stop this, first thing tomorrow". I'd often mutter that when pouring my first drink of the day. Oddly, I'd never say those words until the booze was already in the glass. It was easier to lie to myself when I had the warm and comforting knowledge that I was on my way to getting drunk that day.

Alas, tomorrow never came. Ended up in the ambulance a few times after having seizures, and finally ended up in detox. You'd have never known by looking at me that I was an alcoholic, either. But I nearly died and when I started the circle the drain things got real serious, real quick.

I'm jealous of others who got sober before the ambulance ride. How about you do yourself a favor and quit before your health fails, too? Trust me, you'll be happy you did. You're going to have to stop one way or another...why not make it on your terms? Good luck and welcome!
