Aloha from Hawaii

Hey Everyone!
I am new to this site, after waking up sunday with the worst hangover ever and barely remembering the night except some inappropriate comments I made to the wrong people I broke down crying and Iv'e decided that I really need help, I'm going to a meeting tonight so I can take back control of my life.

I am not alcohol dependent but I am a binge drinker, it seems to me that I really can't handle a lot of alcohol, after 2 drinks I'm buzzin but my body just has this insatiable craving to a point where I just drink and drink and keep on going not knowing where to draw the line. I Also I do a deadly combination of shots, beers, mixed drinks, also dabbling with some weed, a lot blow, and x Iv'e tried to just "cut down" but It's nearly impossible for me, So I know I have to quit or i'm going to end up dead one day.

Iv'e been destroying my body, mind, and spirit for 10 years now. What really made me want to quit was I saw an old friend and he said "I'm surprised your still alive" I was drunk at the time so brushed it off but it popped back in my head sunday morning recovering from a not so great night out. I don't want my life to keep on going this way and I'm ready to do the work and make the change so I can be a better me.

Best of luck. I started out as a binge drinker but that eventually morphs into dependence and inability to stop.

Stay stopped now before the damage is done.
