I know the weekend is coming also. But im starting to think of what becomes of my life when I drink. ...all of the damage caused...the pain. Another section of my brain knowing...hereee comes another detox. The anxiety...no sleep...aggitation. once again the vicious cycle. I dont know what kind of drinker you are but IF you are really aware of what you become....do you wanna do it again?

Waking up hungover and looking at your bank account. Its just not worth it. Thanks everyone for the welcomes and strong support.

An hour and forty minutes until I get picked up for AA. Today Ive gone for 2 walks to clear my mind. It helps. Ive had nervous bouts. My arm pits are sweating profusely. But I am excited. Im excited to finally walk through that door on my own will. And...for the first time ever openly and honestly admit. I am an alvhoholic.

NAVYDOC06

Just got back from AA. Felt awesome and nerve racking all at once. I had a few moments of shaking and almost emotionally broke down. For the first time ever I admitted to being an alchoholic. Felt so much pressure fall from my shoulders. Being around others who have been successful is of the upmost importance.

I was fearful but Im glad I made the move.

I'm so glad it was a positive experience Navy. We hold our feelings in for so long - it does feel good to be unburdened.

Welcome to SR, NAVYDOC06! And thank you for your service! My dad was a Viet Nam vet and a navy man, too. He did two tours on the flight deck as a mechanic working on the planes.

It's good to have you with us. Best wishes and good luck on the road to recovery. I hope to see you around.

Hey doc....just wondering how you are doing?

NAVYDOC06

Hey everyone. Sorry about not updating. Im on day 7 of sobriety and day 6 of AA. I did 3 on friday and went to a huge one on sunday with a speaker. WOW! I had no idea how many people alchohol destroys. Ive been having some anxiety. Sleep is getting better. Working through life sober can be difficult but sooo much easier sober. Hope everyones doing good.
