need help
Hello everyone, I am a 29 year old man who has been drink constantly since I was 14, at first it was a cool thing to do with friends but it has become a lifestyle. I am getting married in the new year and have 2 lovely children. I need to stop as I know it will ruin everything if I dont stop.
I only drink of a night but in the past couple of months I have been sleepwalking after drinking, I dont know why and I think that is dangerous for me and peoplecaround me.
I have tryed cutting down and just drinking at weekends but it hasnt worked so im going cold turkey and though that I might get the support and answers I need from here.
I hope to hear from someone who has been in my shoes and got though this bad habbit.
thanks

to SR! I used to just drink in the afternoon, then it got to be all day and night. I drank anytime I was awake. I finally wanted to be sober more than I wanted to drink and have now been sober four years. If I can do it, so can you.

Welcome Pitsea. I'm only a few weeks in, but this site has made the difference for me. I jumped in cold turkey too, and the first few days can be rough, but things got better sooner than I expected. Hang in there, and keep us posted. As you can tell we're up late (or early for you) when you need us. Lots of us going through the same thing.

Good on you for addressing your drinking. Getting married was a huge wake up call for me. The sleepwalking sounds scary, it's probably time for you to tackle this once and for all. Kids know if your intoxicated and even if they are very young they sense things are not right. My father was an alcoholic and even as a very small child I remember sensing something was a bit off about him and was wary. He was never violent just acted a bit weird. This can be a new start for you and your family. I wish you all the best!
