I always took care of everything and never got caught.........so I thought....but to my surprise I wasn't really taking care of everything.......and it wasn't as much of a secret as I thought...glad you came here...lots of support and help.......You'll be amazed at what life is really like sober and just how much you have been missing....while you were using.
keep coming back
things can only get better from here on.

CMS Great first share, a lot of us understand what you are going through & are here for you.

Please make sure you are as straight forward & honest with your doctor as you were with your first post here, its very important that they know the real level of your drinking before detox (it can be life threatening if not done properly).

I look forward to reading more about your recovery. You can do this!

Take Care,

NB

Yay I'm happy for you! You seem like a great loving person and you deserve no less than truly happy and healthy sobriety. Keep us posted

Dr. appointment scheduled for Monday.
I had a VERY emotional night with my wife, I spilled my guts..How I drink before work on really bad mornings and might sneak a bit through out the day to keep me going until I get home....Alot of crying, I feel relieved.
I feel so nervous right now, I'm excited for change and terrified all at the same time.
I purchased various vitamins, tons of water, and ibuprofen today in prep for the days to come.
My consumption and pace are my priority for the next 2 nights, I'm trying to drink a glass of water between drinks and lay down much earlier than usual.

My words can't express the gratitude I already have for the pm's, suggestions and support that I have already recieved after just 1 post on here.

I think I'll grow roots.

Your first post brought tears to my eyes, as did your last post. I am not an alcoholic, but a recovering drug addict and I too was a 'functional' user. Being functional just seemed to add to my denial! I think you are so ready for this and SR has helped me in so many ways! Stick around, there is lots of support here.

I'm glad you're seeing a doctor. Detox from alcohol is nothing to take lightly. Medical supervision is a good idea for your own well being.

I'm glad you've decided to get sober. Alcohol wrecks everything; homes, families, health. Living sober is the best way to live.

You're catching it in time - before anything truly serious or tragic happens. I wish I'd had the sense to wake up at 37 & see the light. I went on for many more years & left a trail of devastation. You never have to go through the hell many of us have - be happy you've come to this conclusion. We are glad you've joined the family! Let us know how it's going.

Wow, this might as well be me. Making lot's of money, doing pretty good at work, and drunk as hell for the last 10 years or so. I just joined this site. I've been so isolated with my problem that I honestly thought I was the only one. I'm glad to be here now and hearing stories like my own.

Thanks!

You have a lot to look forward to, making a decision like this.

Comming out of denial is a big step forward, congratulations.

It really does get better, even if at first it doesn't seem so.

Hope and Love
