Nice to meet you all

Hey all, nice to meet you. Not an alcoholic but sometimes I feel I am completing the steps to being there.

I drink often and I get bad anxiety. I can however easily not drink say for a few days but then go back.

Hi marty! I once drank like that, and it did not have a happy ending. I'm glad you're taking a look at what drinking is doing to your life. Glad to have you here with us!

Sometimes it is easy to get bogged down with definitions - binge drinker, alcoholic, heavy drinker, alcohol abuser, alcohol dependent etc etc.

I just decided that by the time I had made my mind up, I could have ticked all the boxes, so I just agreed with myself that alcohol made me unhappy.

By coming here and reading and posting, I have got myself 325 sober days.
Most of the crippling anxiety is long gone.
I don't wake up at 3 am panicking and wanting to die.
I think I am overall a better person for it.

Good luck to you

Hi Marty. This is a good place to be if you'd like to change your drinking habits.

welcome Marty

regardless of the label, if you feel your drinking is causing you problems, then you're in the right place
