This has to be it

Hi everyone. I joined this forum over 5 years ago but I haven't posted much in a long time. My drinking has escalated out of control and it has to stop. This morning I woke up on the living room floor, then walked into the kitchen to find an empty pan sitting on a hot burner on the stove. Apparently I had put some water on to boil and then passed out, but I honestly have no memory of it. I could have burned the entire house down and probably would have been unconscious through the whole thing.

I'm about to get a big promotion at work so I have a lot of motivation to get better right now. Two days ago I was still drunk from the night before when I showed up there and I spent the entire day sick, embarrassed, and terrified that my coworkers would notice and call me out on it (they didn't). That cannot happen again.

Right now I still have everything that I could want - job, friends, family, house - but I know that won't last much longer unless I stop this insanity. I always did best when I posted here regularly, so I am going to start doing that again. Thanks for reading.

Thanks everyone, happy to be here! Just took a hot bath and am trying to figure out my errands for the day. They won't include a stop for wine
