Hi all

I have realized that I may have a problem, binge drinking. I don't do it often, MAYBE once a month if not less often, but it has been happening a little more recently now that I going through a divorce. I can drink responsibily most of the time, but I never know when it will turn into one of "those" nights that I regret for a long time afterwards...I can't do it alone and I need encouragment that I don't need to drink to forget my problems.

thanks for listening

Welcome newera!! This is a great place for support and information! Check out the 'stickies' at the top of the forums, especially the Alcoholism forum. Lots of good info there.

WELCOME!!!

You will find a lot of support here, some of the best people I've ever had the privilege of meeting, even if it's only virtually.

Sounds like you've realized that you can't forget your problems... It's very likely that drinking will only make the situation more difficult to handle.

Congratulations on reaching out, though. You'll get plenty of encouragement and support here Stick around, post a lot and talk about it.
