Not sure where to post or what to say..but I'm here!

Welcome Behere. We all started out where you are today so know we all understand having been here ourselves.

Welcome Behere!

So nice to meet you. :)

Please feel free to tell us a little about yourself, and how we can lend support.

Hello and welcome. You're in the right place. Take a look around and post away!

Thanks all. Just trying to figure myself out and stay healthy.

I go months without drinking due to being out of town for work and it's fine. Like no issue at all. But as soon as I'm back home I tend to fall back into the trap of drinking. Why?

Welcome :)

Read around and post as much as you like - we're here to help :)

Welcome BeHere nice to meet you

Maybe home is your comfort zone. In my early stages, I wouldn't drink the night before work. As my drinking advanced, I drank AT work. Which was perfectly okay in the trade I was in as long as I wasn't falling down drunk.
I worked with a lot of alcoholics. Some of them are dead now and that's where I was headed.
At the end I was injured (sober) and drank around the clock. I was out of control.
I drank like that for ten years.
I don't know about you. Maybe you have more responsibilities while traveling that keep you sober.
Wish I could help more. But I can relate.

Hope your sobriety is going well.

Why??

Maybe you're not going to find out 'why'. Do you need to? Could you settle with finding a way not to? If so, here it is, don't take the first drink - no matter where you are.

If you're on a sinking ship, do you hang around to figure out why it started sinking, or do you just get off and into a life-raft double-quick?? Choice is yours, as it was mine.

Wishing you all the best for a happy, serene and sober future.

Often times, in fact I'd say most of the time, we never figure out why. It just is what it is as annoying/frustrating/anger-inducing as that is. But we can figure out the way out, there is a solution. It is not an easy one, but entirely do-able, we just stop drinking. We are all here to support you in that journey as you here to support us, we are all in this together.
