So, I knew things were getting bad. Yeah, like the entire year. I went sober for a week. Never felt better, slept good, had dinner with a nice girl. Then I just caved in the middle of the day, and that was monday. I have tried to tell family and friends, but can't do it.
It is so hard to have a normal life without drinking, and I only have myself to blame.
Sorry to rant here, I know we all have problems.

Hey Cougfan. Been there so many times so know what you are going through but you have come to the right place.. This is the first time I have stuck to a forum & believe me it is a massive help. So many nice, helpful people who have or are going through the same. Jem
Welcome to the Forum!!
The thing I realised when I quit drinking is that there are soo many people that don't drink, also those that do, many can have a pint or glass of wine and that's it for the day, that is what seems to be "normal", normal life doesn't seem to include binge drinking, not remembering what happened the night before and waking up with a hangover that wrecks the whole of the next day.
Unfortunately when I realised I couldn't do the "normal" life thing, I needed to find an alternative, binge drinking or Sobriety were my options, Sobriety was tougher but more beneficial!!
You'll find loads of support here on SR, great to have you onboard!!

Well you can if you wish to. It is anonymous here after all and it is unlikely that you have done anything that a good few others here have not over the years!
Dear cougfan. You seem young. I'm 56. I beg you. Please fix this now. You deserve a clear headed life. I had my first old Milwaukee when I was 18. Was not a good girl in my twenties all due to drinking because I was a stupid back woods country girl. Drinking made me feel pretty and different. All it did was make me a redneck drunk. Again..fix this now.
