Hi all,
New joiner... hope it helps me
I've known for a while that I drink far too much, and have always had a half baked scheme for quitting, but the time was never right... I've done some completely stupid things under the influence - riding a motorbike and breaking my arm so badly, that it needed extensive metalwork, and I can no longer straighten it fully (First time I've admitted that one apart from to a very close friend...)
Letting down that same friend many times, to the extent she no longer wants to talk to me
I'm just tired of letting this so say recreational drug get the better of me, time and time again... I've indirectly lost jobs due to it, made many stupid decisions and purchases because of it, yet I've always kinda seen it as a badge of honour that I can drink more than the next guy, and it has been my go to place in times of stress...
I'm not sure I could think of a more one sided relationship ...
But I think (hope) joining a community such as this, with some clearly old hands, and weak idiots like me in attendance, there may be a hope?
I'm vaguely planning to make July 1st my own personal independence day
