Hey Dharmabum2012- Welcome <back>.
It's great that you've come to realize that it's time for action in dealing with your drinking. No doubt that since you're starting school soon, there's no time like the present to stop. And as you know, this is a progressive thing, which will only get worse.
I just wanted to offer some support and wish you the best. I hope to see you around in here.
Lusher
