Good day all,

I wanted to introduce myself.
Just recently turned 40. Started drinking around the age of 14-15, so I have 25 years of bad memories with booze. Hoping to have an improved next 25 years.
My issues with alcohol are focused on binge drinking. I rarely drink 2 days in a row.
When I drink, I typically drink 10-18 beers during the event.
Historically this has occurred one day during the week. Usually a Friday or Saturday are my preferred drinking days. Some times when I am out at dinner or a bar/tavern, I do get involved with hard liquor, but have historically been a beer guy,
I recently went 15 days straight with out a drink, which was outstanding. Yesterday, I made the personal choice to stop by one of the local shops to see what they had for new beers in inventory. Ended up getting 3 six packs. My wife was not very thrilled as expected. Luckily she is very supportive and wants me to put the bottle down for good.
I hope to use this site as a crutch to get me through times when my mind tells me I need to hit the local store for beer and provide support to others members.
Feel free to ask me any questions, as I am open and honest.
