time to change

I got up today and realized that something has got to change the drinking is really getting bad. I have to do something other than drink every day to handle the stress a work.
The drinking started out as 1 or 2 beers after work now it is 12 or more beers or mixed drinks 5 or 6 times a week for over a year now.
I am so glad I found this site because this is going to be a long hard road I am fixing to travel down. And will need the help of other people to get me through.

Hi TJ2 and welcome

You're definitely in the right place - there are plenty of people who came to the same conclusion about their drinking, and plenty of great threads to read.

Tonight after work should go smooth. I plan to take my family out for a steak dinner and talk with them about my problem. I’m sure they already know but I have to say it anyway. I won’t make it without their help also.
