Gotta agree, that was pretty heart wrenching.

That's why I can't drink at all. Everyone is different. But do stay here on SR. We're all here for you!

I think about drinking most of the day, if im hungover then im telling myself for most of the day that i will never drink again ,if im not hungover then I wake up very thAnkful & from noon im thinking about getting a drink when I finish at 430pm. I dont black out on a daily or even weekly basis but constantly dont remember conversations or things people tell me cause im intoxicated, sometimes I know i had an argument with my partner but have no idea what it was about.. Ive been drinking for over 20 years, a lot of that time without others drinking with me.. Ive tried moderate & its miserable, i just think about it even more.. So although i only have between 4-8 drinks sometimes up to 14, i cant not have a drink on a daily basis.. I wish it was different..
