My last drink... again... really.
 

As I read through my posts on here many things become clear. Not the least of which is that I am an alcoholic and I have a problem.

I'll spare you all the details, but the basic story is that I continue to disappoint myself and my family in my attempts to quit drinking. My wife and I had a talk the other night that really set me straight... A week later. Basically, she insists that I speak with someone, even if it isn't her. For some reason I have no problem telling her that I think I have a problem, but I have a real hard time telling her the details of what it feels like.

This group is the first someone, next week I will find time for my first AA meeting, and I'll be taking advantage of my excellent health insurance and speaking to a therapist, I am hoping to find one that specializes in addiction. I have considered rehab, but that isn't an option right now.

Thank you all, as always, for your never ending support. I am back on-board. Better than ever. If I could quit for a month on two different occasions, I can quit for a lifetime.

I had a last drink many times too Beeraholic. The difference between all those other times and my actual last drink was simply me following through on all the ideas I had on staying sober.

This really can be your turning point :)

Dee, you're a saint. I spend varying amounts of time on this forum, and I am always so impressed with your thoughts and ideas. Despite all your posts you have a fresh perspective every time. Thanks as always:)

You can do this Beeraholic!! . . . change up your plan and make it happen!! :)

My last drink... again... really.

Back up such pronouncements with action and it can be your last. Good luck.

Pound Seltzer water like you pound beer. It's very satisfying.

Seltzer water is very satisfying. I'm drinking between 2-4 liters a day. I like the fizziness.

This is excellent advice

I've been adding juice to my seltzer water. It is satisfying and cuts the cravings. Sprite is good to and you can juice it also.

You can do it!! Set your plan and move forward!!
