I'm Back
Hello all! I hope all is well with everyone. I haven't been to the forum in quite some time. My apologies for that.
Anyways when I first joined here I wanted to quit drinking. I was able to do that for quite some time. Until a month or two ago. I started stopping for a few drinks after work again about every other day. I realize it is hard for me not to. Maybe its the habit. Maybe its the social aspect. I don't know. What I do know is I have a almost 7 month old daughter at home that I love to be around and I'm always here for her on my days off since my wife is working but it seems like after work I just want to stop and have a beer or two before going home.
I know you have all been a great help to me the first time I quit. I think it could be a fact that I don't feel I'm a good enough person all around and if I drink the problems will go away. No deep inside I know I'm not a bad person. Perhaps I just need some people to talk to such as all of you.
Anyways I just wanted to give you all an update and let you know you may see me around more since I'm making it a point to not have those drinks after work anymore. I hope you won't mind me being around and hopefully this post makes sense. (No I'm not drunk now, just have a hard time typing my thoughts out from time to time. Lol)

Hi Shawn, I remember you & it's good to see you here again! 
I hope you'll hang around here and post more. "Post post post" is what someone said to me when I was first trying to quit drinking. It helps a lot & can be fun!

Welcome back Shawn. First kid? They can be stressful, which might lead to the drink. All that "me" time we lose, drinking can feel like you get a bit of it back. But such a bad habit. Good luck sir.
