Well it has been a month since my last drink. I last posted here two months ago as my life was rapidly going down the toilet. I drank for around a month after I posted and caused a lot of chaos in that short amount of time. I blacked out every time I drank. The last night I drank I opened my mouth about some things I shouldn't have and got not one, but TWO people fired from the bar that I was a regular at. I was contemplating suicide after that. I was not the person I wanted to be and I was not living the life I knew I wanted to live.
So I came on here and lurked. Spent hours in the archives here reading and relating to every post I read. I truly, for the the first time, did not feel alone in my misery, shame, and embarrassment. I have not drank since and I want to thank all of you for your posts. It hasn't been easy, but I already feel so much better about myself. I have a ways to go, and I will probably not myself for how I acted while drunk for a long time, but sobriety is fantastic.
I have not been going to AA but am considering it. So thanks again everyone.

It keeps getting better. Hope to see you around more often Member

Congratulations on 1 month.
AA has been useful for me. The fellowship of other guys who have managed to stay sober for years has been a nice addition to my recovery.
Consider AA another tool to put in your sobriety tool box.

I have done regrettable things while in a blackout. most of the time my nights ended with no consequences but there was a few nights where I drank too much. I'm almost 40. waking up in jail is for college kids. I only wish I could remember what I did so as to not repeat my actions
