Day Two Back On The Wagon.
Hello folks,
For those of you who don't know me I am a 26 years old male in his last semester of college. I have been on these forms on and off for a little bit but over the summer- after almost daily drinking 6-10 beers plus daily since July 2011decided enough was enough. I went sober from July to August, had two nights of big binging in August followed by a period of sobriety. I binge drank two nights ago around 14-15 beers but this was after a month Clean. Well now, after a day yesterday filled with chest pains, anxiety, burping and brain fog I am giving this another go and now have a support group. I got a medical check up in April...liver enzymes was ok heart rhythm was ok and not too many symptoms besides anxiety and some panic attack. I've had enough of this being sober then relapsing. I plan on utilizing these forms to stay clean and posting almost daily. So yesterday I had all that anxiety chest pains thinking there is something wrong with me. I went on a date last night and felt a little out of it but I woke up this morning and feel a bit better (though definitely not totally back yet). I will utilize this forum s to help me with my journey of sobriety. Anyway going into work, talk later everyone. I look forward to my journey of recovery and healing. At twenty six I know I'm not old but want to cut it altogether before I get serious health problems.

Congratulations on your decision to quit.
You've had periods of sobriety, so try again. Take one day at a time.
I was filled with anxiety, too. Also worried about my health. My liver didn't check out well, but I drank a lot longer than you. Another reason to stop.
Best to you, and I hope you do stick around here.

26 is a brilliant time in your life to quit. I knew at 26 I had a serious problem with alcohol drinking 2 bottles of wine a night. I am sober now at 37 but it's been a slog and I had to get a whole lot more f'ed up first. Good for you on recognising you need to make and going for it. Hats off!!
