Whats up, guys? Newb here. What a great forum and awesome support system. Looking forward to being a part of it. Day 7 here. Ive tried to quit many times but always end up saying, "Whats the big deal? Have a drink, you're a grown man." In actuality Ive realized that emotionally I am not a grown man and I'd like to change that. Alcohol has affected my spiritual walk, and my emotions, attitudes, values, and relationships. All that misery didn't make me quit. Recently the physical pain caused by hangovers and withdrawls got to be too much. Everytime I binged, I would suffer withdrawl (What I thought were just hangovers) longer and more debilitating. Feel better, drink again. Tired. Tired of being sick and tired and not living the life God gave me to the fullest.
Again, glad to be here and thank you all for your stories. What a blessing!
