ya might want to print this and keep it handy. it was a thread starter of yours a few years ago:
Hey everyone! I've been lurking here for a while, but finally just decided to sign up.

I've spent ten years of my life binge drinking..not being able to moderate. And I've stopped drinking for 1-2 months a few times during that period. The last period of sobriety was a year and a half ago. I was doing great, feeling good, going to the gym 5 x a week. Then New Year's Eve came.

When I don't drink I feel so good; I go to the gym every day, I read, my head is clear. I get things done. I'm looking to start the next chapter in my life, and as sad as I am to say, alcohol must not play a part.

As much as I love the taste (and buzz) of a frothy craft beer, it's not worth it. That one beer will very likely lead to 9+. It's hard to say goodbye...but it really is the only way to be healthy.
