I considered myself just a social drinker and never thought that i had a problem even after passing out and taken to the hospital on the life bed. Yesterday, I go really drunk and blackout and embarrassed me and my wife. Luckily, my wife and I choose to give it one more go as I have found my calling. I want to be sober and a better person. Hopefully this site will help me recover and give me the support. Steps I am making for now is to avoid all the bars and places that will give me tempation for this month. Once i make it through this month I can really start to battle this problem. Alcohol has tried to ruin me because I let it. Now is the time for to tackle this problem and become a better husband and be good to my wife. Goodbye alcohol I don't need you but I do need your guys support. I know this will challenge me but with ur help and my self-determination I will live a fruitful live without alcohol.

Today I have been reading about programs. I plan for the first month to avoid all temptations no bars, only go to coffee places. Luckily, I have my wife who is willing to help me thru this journey. We have made today a new beginning hopefully I can pick up a lot of new activities to alter when I get calls to go out I can just say NO. I know its going to be a lot harder than that, but I have to start somewhere. The person I hurt the most is my wife so I want to make amends with that first. Hopefully with joining this group and having a set routine with new things I will stay sober

It might be helpful to start today to "battle this problem." The battle for sobriety actually begins the moment we cross that invisible line, when we can no longer drink safely. All that happens between then and the time we put down the drink is ongoing chaos, misery and destruction.

You'll also likely feel better about all this were you to make a call about getting help from a professional or from other available treatments, or checking out an AA meeting or two.

It's never a bad time to start healing.

Hi tang, welcome. This is a great site. For me the key is acceptance. Accept that you cannot drink. It is very freeing. Avoiding places where you know there will be drinking is a great idea. Very best to you. Also google urge surfing. This is a method for dealing with the cravings and anxieties. It works for me.

You too can overcome. You have to find something different to satisfy idle hands and busy mind.
