Hi.

I would say I'm an alcoholic. More of a binge drinker. I need to get out of it. I'm sick of blacking out on Vodka.

You sound exactly like me -- a binger blacking out on vodka. I think I've finally reached the point where I not only recognize my need to quit but also want to quit, which is why I'm here.

Anyway, welcome -- this is a great place to share and get support! :-)

Welcome, You'll find plenty of support here. You might want to check out the Class of March 2013 thread to feel connected to people who are stopping in the same month as you are

Good news....you never have to black out on vodka again.

I was a blackout drinker as well....this site has been a great source of inspiration for not drinking and leading a better life sober! Glad you are here!

Thanks for that all. I know that this isn't a disease, only my own stupidity, so I'm gonna try and smash through it.

welcome 0616
I tried to smash through it too - it smashed back.

I needed to make some pretty big changes to my life to stay sober

What changes are you thinking of making?

I'm just planning on not Drinking. I'm on Day 10 already and I've stayed clean so far.

I've joined a group. It's not AA (The whole "Higher Power" thing seems to me like replacing one addiction with another). I'm just going to not drink. That's how I smash it.

Sorry about not being on as often as I'd like to be.

I have a lot going on. I'm keeping myself busy, so I won't have time to drink
