I made my first post here back on 10/28/2014. I made it about 30 days before the holidays kicked in and I decided to indulge. The truth is I didn't really want to quit. I thought by taking a month off I could somehow learn to drink in moderation which just doesnt work for the alcoholic. So after living the weekend warrior lifestyle once again for the past few months i've decided i'm done. Looking back at the empty handle of tequila I polished off on Sunday I have no clue how im alive. Yesterday was sepnt nursing a horrible hangover on the couch all day. Tonight Im heading to my first meeting. Well at least my first meeting for this go round. Ive been to a few in the past both for myself and with my dad. AA scares me a bit. I remember back when my dad first started going to AA, I was so happy he was getting sober. AA began to consume his life that I felt somewhat neglected by my father. I dont have any kids of my own and im not married so I guess I dont have to worry about that but at this point whatever it takes to get me out of this viscious cycle. I went to the bookstore this morning to grab a few books. I really enjoy reading and find books on the disease and recovery enlightening and motivational as i begin this journey.

Well done in recognising you can't do moderation (how many times have we all convinced ourselves we could before ending up here). Made a great decision and lots of good luck. You can do this!! Xx
