Hello friends,
Just want to say hello to everyone on the site. Im on 3 weeks of sobriety from alcohol and 4 days off of Copenhagen, boy im i little pissy(is this what pms feels like). Well guys alittle bit about myself I'm 30, father of 3, and a lucky husband to have a wife to put up with all of my drunktard. Its TIME PEOPLE! I'm done.
Heres my list to stop drinking
1~ Last month i did the best impression of a trapeze artists (without the trapeze) into a side walk. So, then there goes acouple weeks walking around with a elbow the size of a grapefruit.
2~ I cannot believe i haven't gotten a dwi. I mean seriously wtf.
3~ the "incident" got drunk at work all day on a Saturday in 100 degree weather (which isnt uncommon where i work) then spent the remainder of the evening in a hot tub. The next day was a complete disaster. I mean i thought i was going to die, literary thought i was going to puke up my butt hole. I mean the none stop vomiting, the squirts, and oh god dont forget the panic. I even went to the ER.
4~15 years of beer every day left me with high enzymes in my liver. (Hip hip hooray for that little precious gem of news i got today). Go back and check to see if i have alcoholic hepatitis in 3 months. Love LLLLLOOVVE going to wait around for that one.
5~ my sweet baby boys and my beautiful wife. I have to say i love them more than beer. They koo..
WITHDRAWAL SUCKS!
Im very nauseous, most of the day i look like a cat trying to hack up a hair ball. I find myself thinking "geeze this candy bar is going to actually taste pretty good coming up" or " why did i just eat this huge helping of roast beef and potatoes! It's going to be like puking a brick! ".
Wow do i get agitated/angry. I particularly dont like this little devil of emotion. I just want to scream at the top of my lungs. (I would but im afraid of puking ).
Panic attacks really sucks! I feel like john conner and the terminator is out there gunning for my a**… i had one earlier, the hair on top of my head started to tingle and then i got light headed.
This forum is a great inspiration and this is the first time im admitting my alcoholism to strangers. Hopefully i can give some contribution to the site!

You might be going through hell but you write a pretty funny story. Three weeks is a good long time but you have a way to go as you can tell. Hang in there. You are paying the price of admission to a life that is a great deal happier and more meaningful. You will get a lot of similar advice here from people that have been or are exactly where you are. There isn't anything you have done that hasn't been done before. The lists of stupidities for all of us is long and detailed. At least it has brought you to your senses. Remember this list as you go along to give you pause along the way. Remember why you are doing what you are doing.
Have you thought of AA? I am not currently doing that but you will get a lot of advice in that direction. I did AA my first time around and it was extremely helpful. You will find others in the same boat and it can be quite comforting.

Hi boh! Welcome to the family. It's a good feeling to know we're not alone in this - it made all the difference to me. People actually got what I was going through - never thought that would happen! We're happy to be with you on this journey, as you reclaim your life.

Hi and welcome to the site! Lol about your description of the nausea and the runs. I swear. After i would get done with the 24 hours of problems with the north end of my body my south end decided it wasn't getting enough negative attention so woohoo! Thar she blows!
Keep that sense of humor. It'll help quite a bit but don't let it mask the realness you're going to go through. Some people get mired in anger or sadness, some cover it with laughs and brush it off. For me personally, i find that actively seeking a balance keeps me sane and sober. Do you have a sobriety plan? Perhaps AA or something similar? You'll find a lot of the AA speakers incorperate humor into their very real stories. I guess it's that spoon full of sugar, right? Daily AA meetings got me through the very early part of my sobriety and continued AA is keeping me on the straight and narrow. Good people, great insight and just wonderful fellowship. Whatever you end up doing just make sure you HAVE A PLAN! Sobriety doesn't just happen, lol. Look forward to seeing you around!
