Im done with this ****

I'm done drinking I thought I could moderate myself but I can't once I have one drink it keeps on going till I get totally **** faced. I'm mad at myself for drinking last night... I am going to classes and doing other stuff to help me stop. Just wanted to introduce myself... I stopped for 3 months last year I hope I can do it again and stop forever this time.

Welcome Goldenone!

That's me too.... I always wanted "just one more" no matter how much I'd had already. I'm glad you're making a decision to get sober - welcome to the family!:day6

Yes me too, except that 'just one more' became another bottle not another glass!

Welcome to SR, a great place to be when you're ready to make that commitment to stop. Lots of great advice and somewhere you can be totally honest

Good luck on your journey x

Welcome Golden.

You sound like me in a thread I started recently.
Get tough! You are in control.
You made a great decision to stop drinking.
It's great to realize you can not moderate (I can't either)

hang around here and stay strong
Glad you are here!

Be careful. For me it's been extremely hard to STAY sober. I've been through horrible withdrawal after withdrawal....and they always get worse. Last time I thought I was a goner. If you can stop on your own then great. I've realized I can't stop on my own. It's easy to quit when you feel like crap...when you start feeling a lot better again it's EXTREMELY hard not to fall off that wagon again. Best of luck.

I think you have your answer right there. Seems clear to me.

For me, an urge to drink was just a feeling, and I refused to let a feeling that comes and goes destroy my life. That feeling is pretty much gone now, but in order to start I had to quit.

The decision to move on is the right one. Keep posting, you will find support and kindred souls here.

Yeah you can do it.
Just don't give up giving up!
Three months just means you know now you can't test again.
Good luck. Get the first week in then keep counting.
John.
