Well chuck it all, I'm here.
 

I'm tired of pretending not to be an alcoholic. Yesterday is day 1 for me. I know now that I can never have another drink for the rest of my life and I'm ok with that. I have never seriously attempted to quit drinking before so this is my first real attempt in full acceptance of my alcoholism.

Welcome.

Congratulations on your decision to embark upon a sober life. :ring

Welcome to the boards, Chuck. What's your plan?

Welcome to the family. :) Do you have a plan for how you're going to stop drinking?

I've been sober nearly five years now with the help of my counselor and daily visits to this site. :)

welcome.
This place is powerful.
stick around and read and share

Welcome to the forum welcome to SR

Well done on day 1

really nice to meet you chuckitall

I contacted my counselor yesterday and am going in for a face to face this weekend. I have removed all the alcohol from the house. Talked to my wife and have by her goodness been reconciled to her despite not deserving it. She came home Monday night to find me very drunk. I don't remember any of it. I still don't know, I am just ashamed that I let myself get to that point.

hey chuck!
