Cool Hi Everyone back again.

Hello Everyone,

I have been hanging around here off and on since 2004. It has taken a lot of time and a lot of hours of being a drunk to get me to realize that I abuse alcohol. It took me so long to realize that just because I don't drink every day, that I am still an addict. It is not about the drinking everyday, it is about the issues that it causes in my life, and in others lives. I thought that since I just got drunk when I was out of town or my family wasn't around that I was okay. There was so much I was fooled by. Alcohol is such a liar and I am once again attempting to stay completely away from it.

So here I am one more time, one more attempt, and more resolved than ever. I am ready to admit that I am actually an addict, and will abuse alcohol if given the opportunity. I need the help of God, my family and my sober friends to get through it.

Thank you for being here all of these years. Thank God I am drawn back here to get sober.

I am only a few days sober, but hoping to make it many more. I had a set back when traveling, but was sober a few months before that.

Welcome back Hockeyplayer.
Like you I wasn't an everyday drinker either but drinking was causing problems for me.
Thank you for the reminder that it is something we are better off to leave alone.
