Hello everyone,

I have been a member here for about a year, and I have tried to get sober a couple times along the way. I’ve been back on the booze for the last 6 months or so, and I decided last Sunday to give sobriety a try again.

Im 33 years old, wife and 2 kids, with a real good life other than the drinking. I’ve never been a daily drinker, but more of a weekend binger. My main problem is that when I get drunk, I make awful decesions. I am capable of anything while drunk. Using drugs, driving, cheating, spending a ton of money, and staying out all night, are possible when I’m drunk. When I wake up hungover, I am usually horrified of my actions. I’m seriously lucky to still be married, not in jail, or even dead.

As mentioned, I’ve quit many times for 2-3 months, but I always tend to go back. I want this time to be different. I started seeing an alcohol counselor yesterday, and I am going to try AA. It’s been 6 days since my last drink, and I feel pretty good.
