I believe it's time
Hi everyone. This is my first time on here and I can really relate to most of you guys. My last drink was 7 hours ago -- 2 beers. I have been binging since thanksgiving and I am really feeling it this time. I have a doctors appointment on Tuesday but I don't know if I should wait that long. I'm so scared I have really messed up my body this time. I just turned 30 and I really think it's time to stop. I've always loved to drink but the last 1-1.5 years it's been a problem and my body is begging me to stop.
You're not shackled to not drinking, you're free from drinking

Welcome tans. You'll find lots of support here. It's good that you've scheduled a dr. appointment. That's a good start. But don't panic that's it's not until next week.

Hi and welcome. What is making you think you messed up your body? If your last drink was 7 hours ago and youve been binging then you are most likely hung over. Hangovers for me included anxiety and feeling like I was going to die.
But you can make it your last time being hungover. Are you interested in that? Do you want that? If so, then no better time to start than 7 hours ago.
Keep yourself well hydrated (i drank a lot of pedialyte at first) and keep some food in your stomach. Get plenty of sleep tonight and do it all over again. Its as simple as not picking up a drink, but it is as hard as not picking up a drink.

Welcome Tans, those of us that decided to rid our lives of alcohol all had a day 1, now come up with a plan or ask for help to get a plan in place so that you stay in control and do not drink again. For me this is a critical step.
You can have reasons, or you can have results, but you can't have both.

Turn and fight, and kill this this thing that is making you ill.
Listen to your body. Your body is wise. If it says "I've had enough," listen now while you're young and it still has a voice.
So, are you going to stay sober here tonight/tomorrow? What's your plan after that?
Please whip this. I'm 49 and could have posted this myself at 30. Trust me, you'll only get sicker. I always made sobriety like my third priority behind socializing, networking, and self-medicating my insomnia. Don't do like me. Make this your first priority now and stomp this problem into a pulp. No mercy. Don't negotiate with it. Crush it. Don't let it talk you into a compromise drinking arrangement. It's already made you feel sick. Time for it to go and never come back.
Post back and let me know how you're doing, please, okay?
