I was an every day drinker for most of the years I drank. Sometimes I would try to control it and would limit myself to only weekends, but I would really overdo it then. Most of the time I didn't try to control it and just drank as much as I wanted, usually 6-8 or more tall boys a day. The summer before I came back to SR after opening an account years earlier and never coming back, I had gotten hurt at work and spent 4 months at home laid up and the drinking got way out of control. All day, every day, starting in the morning. Glad I came back here because hanging out on here seriously ruined drinking for me. It changed my thinking and helped me turn things around, even though it took me another 2 years to quit for good.
