Hi and welcome funny girl - I made it clearer which part was you and what was the quote.
I haven't seen the original poster around for a while, I'm afraid.
You didn't miss anything. The thread was bumped.

"Bought a cat" lol. That could help. Your exactly like me, once i start drinking I cannot stop and I will drink until i pass out. You could try AA. I currently try to work the 12 steps to the best of my ability but it's certainly not the only way to stay sober. I first year I didn't go to AA but I had a wonderful, large support group (and still do). It's important to stay in touch with people whether it is on here or your friends and family, unless all your friends are drunks. I was fortunate to have normal friends who wanted me to stop because I was out of control. Most importantly take it one day at a time. Btw, I also went to inpatient treatment for 10 nights and I believe it was a great way to jump start my sobriety, and also safe because of the severe withdrawal symptoms I would have. Keep voming back to these forums. Admitting you have a problem is the most important step in my opinion because after that, you can begin your recovery. Just dont drink today and worry about tomorrow when or if it comes.

That's a lot of vodka.
That's a lot of blacking out.
I know, because I've been there.
When I was there, I went to AA and got help.
I started making changes.
I had a counselor (still do) to work on myself in many ways
I stopped going to bars and drinking parties
I began to heal myself
I exercised more
I shifted my friendships
Tried new things
It's been nearly two years now and I'm a much, much happier man in a much, much better place living a much, much richer life.
You can too.

I hope your stumbling onto Sober Recovery leads to sobriety for you, Funnygirl. Start your own thread and tell us what brings you here.

I hope ISOS has found sobriety but based on his posts in this thread he wasn't ready yet. I think he was at the early stages and realizing he has a problem but trying to fool himself with moderation. So many things he said reminded me of my journey so far. Especially comments like "I only drink beer now, so it's no problem" or the withdrawal symptoms he experienced also seemed familiar. The disease was causing him to lie to himself
