One week tonight

My names andrew and im an alcoholic. Though i can take breaks
I tend to drink too fast and large quentities. I have anxiety issues
In crowds and have developed this habit both socially and alone.
Im happily married and want to be a better husband. When i get home
I sit in my yard and drink before saying hello to my wife. She has never
Yelled at me but that behavior is messed up. I tend to drink night before
Tests as im a student. Always regret and hate myself when i wake thirsty and with a headache.

I havent located face to face group yet. I got away from darts last year and have heard that there are sober leagues. It would give me a sober night out.

Welcome to the family Andrew. My withdrawal anxiety went away in a few weeks. Stay sober, it gets better.

I gave a speech today my anxiety left as soon as i started introducing my topic. I did it on banana plantation ecology. What i noticed is that i had clear plan in my head. Usually i trip over myself as i would forget segments. I have ADD also so i wonder if alcohol has been main factor in my adult cognitive disabilities? Also i visited my father yesterday and noticed just how bad the pile of beer cans smell in his trash. Is quiting alcohol like when you quite smoking i used to smoke now i hate smell?

Glad to meet you, Andrew. It's good that you're taking a look at what alcohol does to your life. It definitely ruined my concentration and caused great anxiety. We don't need it - it feels so good to be free.
