Wish me luck
I've finally decided to take some action. I've been drinking for 25 yrs and I'm at a point in my life where I know it has to stop. The reason I want to quit is I feel like I'm wasting my life away and that is really starting to depress me. I am married and have small children (6 and 8). I know that being an alcholic is not fair to them. For the most part I am a good father and husband, but I know I could be better. The alcohol is really starting to get the best of me and is really starting to control my life. The best part is I know I am not alone. That is why I am here
Congrats on your decision and I wish you the best.

Hey peace28, I'm exactly in the same position as you my kids are almost 10 and 8.
Keep stopping the drink then starting again, for me it is a heavy social thing... finding it hard to commit and really stick with the resolve.
But I will get there and so will you. That you have found this place is great. So welcome.

Welcome to SR, Peace. Having grown up with a father with a serious drinking problem (although otherwise a great guy...) let me say that sobriety and recovery would be the most amazing gift you can give your children and they deserve it 100%. I hope you find your way you have lots of company.

welcome, peace - This is a great community and we understand what you're going through. Alcohol erodes so many of the good things in our life. I'm glad you've decided to get sober.
