Can't stop binge drinking
 

I binge drink every two to three weeks and feel powerless to stop the craving before it consumes me.

Stay on this site
 

It helped me, I too cant stop once I start.. I post here and it seems to help a lot.. It helps a lot

It takes a lot for me to open up, it's not anybody's fault, but at the same time...I don't know.

Sure you can...

You'll get a DUI and go to jail. No booze there. It's not if, it's when. Read the horror stories here.

Bottom line, if you have the will to stop, you'll get the help to do it. Not many can do it alone (a few lucky ones could).

If only...

welcome back seared - remember what you said last time?

I think that acceptance is very important. Support can really help too.

I know how hard it can be to reach out - but I really don't think any of us does this alone.

Reaching out to others and listening to what they had to say was pretty much the smartest thing I ever did - after quitting drinking :)

You can get back to being that non drinker :)

Do you have any kind of a plan from here, Seared?

D

Are you willing to take action to stop your drinking? If so, what action are you planning on taking?

I am also powerless over alcohol, but I've been sober for 7 months.

Which I mention in order to say that you can do it too.

Great job josh! Wow :ghug3

(seared, this could be you getting congrats! You're choice)

Great inspiration josh

What action(s) did you take?

Welcome Seared!

I started out binge drinking, too. Never got in trouble, but I think I was just lucky. (Or maybe I wasn't, because I didn't have any reason to stop?!) I sure did do and say things I wouldn't have if I were sober.......

Getting support (like posting/reading here) is what helps me stay sober. It's easy to "forget" what happened the last time we drank, and thinking we can control it. If you're like me, though, I was never interested in having a one-or-two drinks kind of night. I always, always wanted one more, no matter how much I'd had.

Stick around, read and post. We know what it's like......:ring

That sounds like me.

That's an awesome statement.... Same deal for me. I'm personally just as powerless over it now as I was 55 months ago but I found some additional power - an external battery pack, so to speak.

And unfortunately for many of us who are hell-bent on solving the problem ourselves.......the answers come in doing a lot of things you may not believe will 'work' and doing a whole lotta stuff you probably won't want to do. I guess that's logical cuz most of us, when we're drinking, are pretty-much living our lives the way we see fit........and, for an alcoholic, that just doesn't work. --hope that make sense. ;)
