Stopping today...

...before theres no tomorrow.

Hi all,

I have a drinking problem. I am lucky to still be alive. I do stupid stupid things when I drink. I drink everyday. sometimes one beer turns into twelve. I need help. I need to help myself and the support of others would help. Ive quit once before and it lasted a month. I hoping this time its for good.

Welcome to SR!

You found a great place for support. Many of us have been in a similar boat so we understand.

Great timing, Christmas time can become a booze demolishing derby.

Ali has many other quotes I love. He is a hell of a man, both physically and mentally the champ. I apply this one to my recovery, specially when I got sober and detoxed.

Welcome Cambio. We have all walked down the same path. Onward and upward is the only way to go but one thing is for sure you must take it slow!

Glad you're here friend, Welcome!
Many of us also were magicians - turning one to twelve, or turning a beautiful peaceful day into one of hell on earth.

Keep coming back!
