Hey, I'm new.
Alcohol has been a big part of my life. I drink daily, and it's gotten to where I do stuff like wake up at 5 am and have a few more drinks to get back to sleep for a few more hours. That can't be good. I was so hungover/drunk/tired at work the other morning, I didn't think I'd get through the shift! So I figure, time to stop for a while. I've decided to not drink for 30 days, to see how that feels.
I'm gay, a millennial, and I live in my mom's basement and work as a paralegal. I've been stalking this website for a few weeks. My plan is basically to go running and eat healthy and post on here. I figure that'll be a start in distracting myself so I don't drink. Idk.
Thanks to everyone for being a part of this site, it seems like such a great community! Muah, much love, y'all are great, k.

It's great to meet you, Phillip. It helps to be among those who understand.
I was doing that too - waking up & taking a few sips to get back to sleep. Then when I got up, a few more sips...before long it led to all day drinking - & disaster. I could never trust myself once it was in my system. Wish it hadn't taken decades for me to get free. Glad you're here.
