Its been a while

I'm 34 and I have fighting on and off for about 8 years to get drinking out of my life. I am a binge drinker and don't have the ability to stop after a couple. I usually binge two or three times a month, but usually when I do I make bad decisions. I have been hurting so many people close to me due to this. I had a another binge on tuesday and it needs to be my last time. I have not had a drink since and don't have any desire to, but I know after time passes it will come back. I have never been good with meetings, but I am starting Monday talking to a professional and then doing some group meetings. Scare about the future, but I do have many people in my corner willing to help.

Welcome back golfinmidwest. Good to have you back & wanting to try again.

It's easy to convince ourselves that we can somehow control it. I spent decades doing that. I'm glad you have some plans in place - we know you can do this.
