Greetings

Good evening everyone, quick intro for me, I'm 22 active duty military. this is technically my 1st night sober. I've gotten into some trouble for alcohol and have been ordered to abstain from alcohol for a period of time. I'm about 4 weeks in and haven't abstained at all honetly. I came to the conclusion that I may actually have a bit of a problem. Up until tody I was convinced that i was fine, but after last night of going out and drinking...again, maybe I should slow down. I'm commiting to not drinking starting Monday for an unknown amount of time. I plan on sharing my experiences, honestly and openly as they happen on this website and hope to get some feedback. So, nice to meet everyone in advance!

Welcome to SR! Read around. Look for the similarities, not the differences. Many have made a great beginning to their journey here.

God Bless.

Heya Niners! Why wait until Monday? Also, just commit to not drinking TODAY. Do the same thing tomorrow. One day at a time...it's an easier pill to swallow.

I wish I had done what you are doing 20 years ago when I was in the Army. I had terrible hangovers during P/T! My SSG would yell "If you fall out I'm going to send your a** to ALANON!!" LOL! I always got a chuckle out of the fact that he called AA "Alanon". I never fell out, though. That might mean that I would have to stop drinking...

HOOHAH!

Welcome to SR Niners (and in my case, the Day 1 Club)

This is the place to be for support and encouragement.

Good luck giving up the devil, you'll be happy you did.
