Another Go
It's been a while since I've been on here, over a year and that year has been spent drinking. I relapsed after giving up for a few weeks and thought I could control my drinking but it has got gradually worse, day by day, week by week.
My wife and Mum have both expressed concern about the amount I drink, and I know they are correct so now it is time to give this a really good go.
I am an alcoholic and want to spend the rest of my life sober so this is day 1, the first day of the rest of my life.

Welcome back, Onlythelonely 
If you're anything like me, you just won't be able to moderate, no matter how hard or how often you try. But I've found that giving up completely is actually easier and far more satisfying in the long run

Welcome back...as I'm sure you know, you are among those who understand. Do you think a trip to the doc is necessary? Stay close. Pay attention to what's going on in your body. Detox is more difficult (and possibly life threatening) for some than others...

Hi Only! We're so glad you're back.
Yes, I did it too. Was determined to control my drinking so I wouldn't have to give it up all together. But I wonder why - since it was destroying me? I always longed for the early days when it was still fun, but they were never coming back. In the end, it was a relief to be rid of it. I was never in control of my fate once it was in my system.
You can do this Only - we are with you.
