My names Alex and I surrender..
Been fighting for a long long time.. Woke up after another binge no work again no focus alcohol is slowly stripping from me all I have built up in my professional career. Iam dying and I know it.. Slowly killing myself!!
I give up I surrender, I can not do it on my own my way no more, alcohol is my master! I will call my old friends from Aa and do what they suggest because my way is not working at all... 22 August 2013 my fresh start!!

Congratulations on surrendering. Now is the chance to win by staying honest with yourself and plug the jug for yourself. AA is my salvation for many years as Al Gore was an unknown back then. I was taught that if I didn’t pick up the first drink, I wouldn’t have to get sober AGAIN. Hang on as the ride can be the best journey in your life.

Welcome, Alex! After nearly 30 years of heavy drinking I had to finally surrender in order to get better. And my story is not unique, there's many of us here that thought we were beyond hope, yet we've recovered. Stick around, you'll find lots of support here.

Bravo, Alex!!
You can do this quit thing and finally put your drinking behind you for good and all. As you sober up, it really will make the difference you've been looking for to be happy and successful in yourself.
Not easy at first, change is absolutely on the menu, and with all that it eventually works out and becomes easy as can be compared to the old ways of drinking.

Hi Alex and everyone, I am Chloeb and the day I hope is my surrender day is also 8-22-13!! Everyone's stories seem so similar. I thought I could control my drinking. I am losing my husband of many years he is so tired of being around this as his parents were also alcoholics. I want more than anything to never drink again and be healthy. I decided last night when my husband followed me and saw me stop at the store and purchase alcohol ; he said he just knew...I am glad he did but I am embarrassed and so sorry for what I have put him through for 23 years. We see a marriage counselor and our next appointment is Monday. I just want to get through this weekend sober and be able to tell this doctor the truth I have been hiding and lying about...
