Hi NewFighter.
Yes, I mourned it - and thought nothing would ever be fun again without it. So for years quitting was out of the question. Wasted huge chunks of my life trying to moderate. I had to be brought to my knees to give it up. In my heart I knew long ago I didn't drink normally, but I sure kept trying. This won't happen to you. I'm glad you've reached out for help.

Thank you all for your encouragement! I lurked around SR for a few years when I realized that it was Pride holding me back and destroying my life. I am an alcoholic. Posting for the first time yesterday was validation although in a fog of a hangover, that after a week sober and drinking again, remaining sober is going to take a lot of hard work. I am not able by my own strength to just put down the drink~ I have failed but not forever again and again, enough is enough. Glad to be on board, thank you all again!
