hankfrank

I wanted to say hello to everyone. While I have battled with binge drinking (for 30 years now on and off) I think I have finally decided that even though I am highly functional (good job; family; etc) I've had too many close calls and I don't want to end up a disaster story so I'd like to beat this before it beats me. Like many, I think I've fooled myself into thinking that I can control alcohol and 9 times out of ten I can but then there is that 10th time where I drink way too much and then wake up shameful wondering if I did something to get me fired (at a work function) etc. At any rate, I plan to use this site a lot both to read what others have to so (and how they are coping) but to also write down my feelings (which I don't often really delve into). Plus lately I've couple alcohol with internet porn and that is a HORRIBLE double whammy! I appreciate all the great ideas and coping strategies that others have mentioned. I guess we're in this together, right?
