Didn't want to do this
So here I am thinking I can keep doing this still thinking I am a normal drinker I am not!!!! I can not keep doing this. I try to check in once in a while but I'm putting it out there now I'm a alcoholic and I'm outta control.
Admitting to yourself to being an alcoholic is unpleasant and uncomfortable but it is the first essential step in any recovery in my opinion.
It is a daunting feeling but there is so much to look forward to in not drinking
I wish you all the best happywithme

Hi Happy.
I didn't want to either. So I lost decades trying to manage it. I ended up drinking 24/7 with a life in chaos. It feels so wonderful to be free. You can absolutely do this.

I sometimes go through the same thought-frame, though I know I have a problem. I quit for half a year, and thought I could drink casually. I can't. I generally don't think about drinking while I'm at work, but recently have been sneaking it in on long days (self employed). By my personal standards, I am a mess. The good times of drinking in my 20's no longer feel good, and the mistakes I've made through those episodes have further consequences not that I'm pushing 40.
I have had a f-it mentality whenever I hit the store, but it never leads to anything worthwhile. A huge waste of money, deterioration of health, lack of motivation, loss of friends, memory problems, apathy...
I remember myself as a kid. Full of energy and vitality. Sure, I'm older now, but should care and love myself. Stopping drinking needs to be my goal, and it can't happen slowly. I've poured my left over beer down the drain and hope to make it through the evening. I hope you will too.

Hi mate, I have never admitted to anyone I
am an alcoholic. I know I am, and I tell people
here.
Made me feel better. It is not just me who
knows, bit of a weight off. Others here know
and they help with support
I'm just into day three, stick around, you can
do it. If I can go three days, I am sure you can.
