Hello
Hey everyone,
I'm from the UK and I've decided it's time to stop my binge drinking and get my head sorted.
I'm only 21 but I can't keep doing this and hopefully this website will give me some accountability and motivation to keep off the booze!
Hope you are all well

Welcome.
Do you have a plan that you will follow?
Do you hope to stop drinking alcohol completely or moderate your consumption?
I found that I was unable to moderate my consumption of alcohol, so stopping completely was my only option.

Welcome Oper! It's great to have you join us. 
SR helped me find the courage to stop. I had been drinking for almost 30 years. You are wise to take a look at what alcohol is doing to your life. Congratulations for making this big decision at such a young age.

I hope to stop completely. As I only drink on the weekend my plan is just to give up cold turkey. I've tried drinking in moderation also and it never worked for me so hopefully this time I'll be able to quit for good.
Thank you for the support!

Hey, just thought I'd give an update on my "progress". I fell back into drinking with my friends, not as much as I have done before, I've been drinking in moderation for the most part.
However, after a friend of mine has laid out my flaws when I drink it has given me the kick to stop drinking altogether. I'm feeling better about it this time because I'm not trying to quit on a wave of guilt and shame but because somebody apart from myself has finally said, "you're a bad person when you drink" and for this I think I'll be forever grateful.
So just a bit of a vent, but thanks!
