Introduce Myself....
Hey everyone,
Today I decided to quit drinking. I am 38 years old from Ontario, Canada. Alcohol has always been a part of my life and it's scary to think about life without it. I've tried to taper the drinking off, only keep to beer and wine, but it always ends the same for me...another black out two days ago and I became very aggressive with my fiancées brother. I started to sneak shots of hard liquor and then blacked out, was confronted, and lost my mind. Yesterday (day after) I decided to have some beers to "take the edge off" in the am, and luckily I had a good friend come by that was gentle, but firm to smarten me up. I missed work today because of my hangover and my fiancée finally came home to me. I hope to be a productive member of this forum and to use it as another resource to help me along my new path.

Thank you for the warm greetings.
Tomorrow I go to my first AA meeting. I'm not super stoked about it, but I have nothing to lose and what I am doing now doesn't work. I always find that around the 3 month mark, I go overboard. I don't know why that's the magic number, but it is. I am grateful to have a supportive family to help me through this as I know things can always be worse. I got my first DUI 2 years ago and had to quit drinking for a few months while I was awaiting trial. I felt positive throughout that time, however as soon as it was lifted I started drinking again. I know I have some sort of anti authority BS so when people tell me not to do something, I'll typically do it even if it's harming to me. Anyways, thanks again for the welcomes and I'm glad I found this site to help me along. I noticed you have a few weekly chats, so I'm curious to see how those go as well
