Giving this another try
Hey i tried giving the whole slow down method a try but surely...it did not work. I never considered myself sick or even an alcoholic, but lately it's been interfering with my life and i think it's time i give it up. Today will be the first day starting over, i even deleted my facebook account so i won't be tempted to go to a party or event....Planning on getting rid of bad numbers in my phone so again won't be tempted to do anything.
I'm done hiding in the shadows...It's time to get my life back.

Yeah, i finally realized and i read it from another user here on the site...i really don't have an Off button when it comes down to it. I used to drink beers really, but i can easily go threw 5-6 in a night...didn't really go out while i drank at home but when i went out it was the same deal.
The next couple of weeks will be challenging but i'm ready to quit before i hurt someone or myself.

Hi Linus,
I have been beaten and I know it. After drinking yesterday afternooon, I showed up at my son's basketball game.UGH. my daughter and husband knew immediately. He wouldnt sit with me and she was totally embarrassed. He escorted out as soon as it was over. DISASTER. My son had the game of his life..scored 23 points and won it for the team. They carried him at the end and we weren't there. i feel horrible
..
I cannot drink and I know it. Im physically a messs and look awful as well. I did not have the best experience at AA though I did stay 5 years and remained sober. Im looking to connect here and get to a counselor.
I'd love to keep chatting and work at this together!!! THe cravings are getting to me as I approach 24 hours

The urges are just that urges...they are not worth it. I don't plan on doing AA but i do plan on staying on the forums. I deleted anything that could be used to put me in a drinking situation...HANG IN THERE! =D

I like that.....Giving urges power is the problem! I need to stay busy as well. I am a teacher so my schedule is set. I usually stop to pick up my drinks on the way home from work even though i PROMISE myself every morning that I won't! Changing my routine after work would help. I have a family so busy is typical but my kids are teens and independent. I'm finding alot of alone time. I have lots of hobbies...just dont do them!
