Here I am

Here I am again. Hungover at work, hating myself, feeling like crawling under my desk, my slacks feel tighter and my face and eyes are red and puffy despite the makeup I caked on, trying to hide this sick look. Here I am again asking myself why I needed those last two shots last night. Why do I do this to myself?

Here I am again asking myself if I am an alcoholic? Do I have a drinking problem? But I don't drink every day, but I can stop if I want to. Then why haven't I stopped?

Becasue I really don't want to feel like this ever again.

I drank the same way -- never daily but my binges gradually became longer and closer together. I was well on my way to daily drinking.

You get to decide when you're done. It can and will get worse. Then may be you'll be ready?

You don't ever have to feel this way again.


Stick around here - you'll find some great support.

Welcome to SR! You have in common the lack of self control over Alcohol.

Welcome Goodbug! You're not alone, we've all been there. It's hard to wrap your mind around never drinking again. Small steps-just don't drink today and do it again tomorrow and the next day, The cool thing is you'll notice changes in your appearance quickly once you stop-clearer skin, no more bloat, better color, better fitting clothes. You sound ready to give it a serious try

Goodbug, We've all been there. Think we are having a good time when we are drunk and then we have to deal with the aftermath. Try staying sober for while and notice how much better you feel. As someone said on SR our thoughts become distorted when we are drinking and it takes some time to think clearly again.

Good luck!

Thank you all for the words of encouragement. So glad I stumbled (no pun intended) on this site. It is comforting to read about folks who have struggled with the same issues.
