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 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.

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.

Welcome Chuck. Glad you found us and a ton of support here. Having a plan and staying close to this community really helped me in the very early days and continues to be my strong hold now.
