day 1. again.
Hi everyone I'm new.. Been reading your posts for some time though. It's all been very informative for me.
Today I've decided again I need to quit my drinking. It's a daily thing now, and the amounts are steadily increasing. I am scared because I don't know what will happen in the next few days. . If I will get sick or the shakes.
Basically I'm not happy with the life I've been living. My children deserve a better example. I think I need to learn how to deal with my feelings instead of self medicating.
I look forward to any help I can get here along the way.

Hello and welcome.
Congratulations on your decision to stop drinking. I dealt with everything in my life by drinking, which meant I had to stay drunk most of the time. My intake increased, too. Till I was drinking whiskey at 8am and through the rest of the day. What a sad life I had, if you can call that living.
I've been sober over three years now and looking back on those days and realizing the things I missed makes me sad.
I didn't have anyone to answer to, no wife, no kids. Just me. So I was free to drink .You have kids to live for and watch grow up. I think quitting drinking would be the best gift you could give them, and yourself.
I was afraid to stop, too. I went through a minor withdrawal, but everyone is different, so it would be wise to check with a doctor.
Best to you. My thoughts are with you.
