new here

I've been contemplating quitting drinking for a long while. Tried in the past but it never works for long. Ive been trying to get fit and lose weight, so quitting seems like the best thing to do! I was all ready, mentally, to quit yesterday but then in a flash... I downed nearly an entire bottle of rum on an empty stomach. I don't think I've felt like that since I was a teenager and new to drinking... good grief. You can imagine how I felt when I woke up this morning. What I wasn't prepared for was all the bruises, guilt, depression and sadness. I'm really beating myself up over it this time around. I CAN'T KEEP DOING THIS TO MYSELF. So... yeah. Day one.
