Welcome to SR!

Welcome to the forums, adisc123. I swore to myself "no more" a thousand times and tried to limit myself to "a beer or two" a thousand more, but it wasn't until I went to AA and started using this website that I had any success at recovery. Having the support of other people who know where you are and where you've been made all the difference. AA and these forums are full of people who want you to have that chance at a better life. If you can't just put it down and walk away, let us know and we'll help you find a way that works for you.

Absolutely you will

.....but that's a double-edged sword.

lol.... i recall being kinda bummed that I wasn't all that "special" and "uniquely troubled" as I thought I was. Truth is, I'm a whole lot more garden-variety than my ego likes to admit.

** and my dad was an alkie as well. I wasn't an alkie like him.....but i'm just as much the alkie he was. -- a rose by another name.

you know what man, it doesn't matter what you tell your fellow friends(drinkers). they're gonna admire what you're doing even if they don't let you know to your face. we admire you for the courage. there is a reason why you do this to yourself repeatedly. in addition to stopping yourself from picking up start searching for WHY you drank. work on that and watch your life change.
