Glad you are here Lori. That's great if you spotted your alcoholism early and possibly stopped in time. All I can recommend is reading the AA Big Book if you haven't. Not that I'm pushing AA or anything, I just think it is great reading and something you could relate to.

Not early enough

Ive known this for years, always thought i was a casual drinker until i started getting blackouts recently, ive been a recovering drug addict for over 20 years but apparantly replaced it with alcohol, I went from drinking once a month to 2x a month then once a week to twice a week within these past 2 months, dont know why, but im stopping it now. thanks for being here for me.

Hiya LoriL! Welcome Aboard!!

It's GREAT you spotted the Progression this soon. Many alcoholics don't discover it, until it's too late. Alcoholism is the opportunistic disease that veils the truth--and convinces us we're just fine--while we're busy digging our own grave.

Glad you've joined us here at Sober Recovery!
