hello
I'm not a daily drinker, but when I do drink, I typically binge.. sometimes for days. I've been working on cutting back. I keep trying to quit.. made it for 32 days this last time. Then I did it again. I'm here because I don't know where else to go. I can't keep this up anymore.. it's slowly taking everything from me.

Welcome, IWantSobriety!
I found that once I took that first drink or two, all my good intentions to control my drinking went out the window. Welcome to the forum.....You'll find lots of support and inspiration here!

Hi IWantSobriety,
I totally understand where you are at. I have dabbled over and over with drinking. It is such a part of my life unfortunately (Im a musician and work at a pub). I've stopped for periods and then I have one or two - I keep control for a bit but then it all falls apart again. Ehhh it is hard because I just wish I could control it. Anyway, sorry for my vent - this place is super great to reach out to people - artsoul we chatted in the past and you always have such great advice
best,
copper
