Taking another shot at it!!!
Hi all, I'm back and nice to see some familiar folks!!! Just a quick background. I categorize myself as a functional alcoholic. No rock bottom (yet), no missed work, no DWI's (just luck) and no major marital/family issues. However, many years of heavy drinking have taken a toll on my mind and body, as well as prevented me from being the person I can be. I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired! Simple as that! Over the past 10 or so years, I quit for two months, another time for four months, then again for three months. I enjoy sobriety each time, but ALWAYS think I’m “missing the fun” and I can be a "normal" drinker. Well ya know what, I can't! I’m hoping I am now convinced of that and will not attempt moderation again.
At any rate, I just wanted to check in. I’m thankful for SR being the supportive site it is and all the good people who make that so! I am very glad to be back!
