Time to finally get this monkey off my back
Hello. My name is Si.
For many years I've had problems with drink and drugs. Although the worst of it is several years behind me (drinking every day, hammering amphetamines and pills whenever I could get them, trouble with Johnny Law) I have come to the realisation I'm not quite there yet.
I seem to have moved from the chronic situation to a more random binging type person. Sometimes I can go out for a quiet few drinks with no problem. Other times I just seem to step accross this invisible line and I will not stop drinking until I have drank everything I can find and literally passed out. I then feel awful for days, I get nothing done and feel terribly guilty about the latest embarrasment I've caused myself.
On some months this seems to happen every weekend, other months less so. Regardless, I think it's time to stop it for good.
I'm just looking for a place to chill and talk to similar people. I've been lurking here a little while and I hear a lot of things that sound familiar in what people say, so here I am.
Catch you around!

It's funny how it creeps up on you. From occasional weekends, to every weekend, then to one day out of the week, to two or three. Next thing you know, you're drinking every day.
I went through that and when I realized that I wanted wine more than anything else for BREAKFAST, I knew something was definitely wrong and I couldn't stop it for some reason.
Oh, how stubborn we are sometimes.
