Sober Today
Hello, I drank last night - and I didn't want to. I am currently drinking about a half a bottle of wine a week. I know that's not a tremendous amount, but I pay a huge price every time I drink. In my twenties, I was a drunk - then sober for 12 years, then out for 14 years. I didn't drink like I did in my twenties, but any was too much. Now even though I'm "moderate", I know I am not drinking out of choice. I am addicted. In some ways, I am relapsing every time I drink because I tell myself - NO MORE - and then... I don't want to go to meetings. I don't know why. I know there are great people in there, but there are also people that are not so great. It feels good just to say a few things. Thanks-

Hi and Welcome,
I do understand what you mean. When the alcohol controls you, it's just no good. I was so, so relieved when I finally stopped drinking (and was no longer 'trying to stop'). The obsession lifted and I had my mind and my life back.
SR is a great place for support, and I'm glad you found us.
