New here never posted before
Hi all, I've been lurking on this site for ages now but never felt brave (or sober) enough to post. I know you don't have to be sober because you all seem so accepting of people at all stages of recovery, but I didn't want to post a drunk incoherent ramble.
Anyway I've been drinking since I was in my 20's and it quickly led to problematic drinking (probably late 20's.......I'm now 42) I've tried to stop many times using many methods but they never worked. The 5th of this month I went on a week long bender, woke up on the 11th and felt like I was dying (everything I drank on the day before felt like I was just forcing poison down my throat) I am determined not to drink and since then have not had the desire.....admittedly I have found a support group that works for me and I am full of meds but this is my 5th day sober.....the longest I have ever done.
I just wanted to start being an active member of these forums to act as another incentive to stay sober.....I know my sobriety is my responsibility but any added incentives can't hurt
Thanks for listening

Welcome to the posting side. I was a "guest" for a long time before registering but I'm so glad I finally did. This site has been crucial in my recovery.
It helps me to stay active on here. Welcome.

Hi Adraste, I am also 42 yrs old, been drinking since a teenager. I am finally sick of being sick. I am too old to have this lifestyle!! I binge every weekend, basically forcing poison down my throat until I feel better from the "buzz". Rationalizing my behavior since I am sitting along side my friends doing the same thing. I need to find new friends, and most difficult, leave my alcoholic boyfriend, which is another struggle with sobriety. I dont know why I chose this life since I feel 100 times worse the next day and start all over again. I am trying, today I am 2 days sober.
