I've been "trying" to quit for three years now with stretches of success but that's it.

I *need* to stop, this is just out of control-I drink every night, alone, and too much. Feel like crap most mornings. Slog through the day--till 5 or so when I get back to drinking and the cycle starts again. Don't sleep well, look like hell, and have done who knows what kind of damage to my liver, etc.

Anyway: I'm done. This is Day 1. I just wanted to explain my story and how I've bounced around SR over the past couple years and really want this to be the last class I ever join here. I'm going to go back and read all the posts to get to know eveyone.
