I'm new to this website as of this morning. This is my first ever step toward recovery. I posted a big long post and I have no idea where it went?

Hi - welcome here! One thing I've learned that is helpful when making a longer post is to copy and paste it somewhere else before you post. That way if the post doesn't go through you have it saved to post again. :-)

Well, I have an issue with Binge drinking. I've had 2 episodes in the past week. I am not a daily drinker or even a weekly drinker, but I do this when I'm upset and stressed. When I do it, I do a really bang up job! I will drink anything I get my hands on wine, liquor, beer. It's scary!

Day 2
Posted Today at 05:24 AM by Elliemae215
Today I woke up feeling less remorseful, still cob webs in the brain and eyes swollen. Now it takes 2-3 days to flush this poison from my system and the hangovers last that long. I don't understand this thing called alcoholism. I am a successful person in every other aspect of my life. I have a wonderful marriage, a great career, 2 beautiful and successful kids - a great life! Until I binge drink myself into oblivion! I must find the tools I need to fix this. I'm a caregiver, that is my job. How come when it comes to me, I place my needs on the back burner? Something to ponder for today. Choose to have a great day!
