This is a first for me.
Hello.
I just joined my first ever forum. I don't know what kind of things newcomers typically say here. My story is pretty simple.. I have always loved to drink and party... I was a social drinker in my 20s, a heavy drinker in my 30s, a functioning alcoholic (whatever that may mean) throughout my 40s and now on the eve of my 50th birthday I am no longer functioning. I am a drunk. I decided 48 hours ago that I had had my last ever drink. I am sitting here feeling terrible. Dizzy, exhausted, lonely, depressed. I am having dfficulty getting out of bed.
Hope to find some support and inspiration here.
