Hello everyone
I have been looking for some way to connect with people who are going through the same thing I am and it has been incredibly difficult. The AA meetings where I am are difficult to get to and I feel like my family doesn't realize hiw serious my problem has become.
I was 5 days sober today and I slipped. Slipped being I had 2 drinks. Anxiety hit me like a freight train today and before I knew it, I was at home slamming beer. I thought, after four days that I was going to be ok... I am not really sure what happened.
Anyway, hello to all. I look forward to starting again. Right. Now.
I am 37 and have been a heavy drinker for a while now. I have kept myself thinking I had this under control, until I started drinking at work, driving, at 8am... The catalysts were someone close to me telling me I just wasn't the same and blacking out at work. I honestly don't know how no one but me knows I have a proble.
