Finally taking the problem seriously!
Hi everyone, hope you're having a great day.
I'm in my mid twenties, from the UK and have quit drinking determinedly for the first time in my life just 29 days ago. I've quit before twice but it was always half hearted.
Probably the realisation came around three years ago - I was working long shifts in a rubbish job and found myself drinking while there - this eventually led to drinking in the morning before shifts.
I remember reading threads here where people mentioned waking up to drink as a kind of 'next step' and it absolutely terrified me! I've thrown away education, work, money and relationships but know i'm very lucky to still have good friends and a loving family.
Anyway, hello and best of luck to everyone.
Buzzkillington.
