--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have just began my road to recovery. Acually this is only my 3rd day. But this is the first time in my life that I am able to admit I have a problem. I guess I would be what you call a binge drinker, until this summer I never drank often, but when I did, I DID! My boyfriend didn't like me going to bars, so I started drinking at home. Too often I might add! He would get mad about that so I would just do it all again to get rid of the guilt, I would start first thing in the morning and maybe go for a week doing that. I could go for a week and not drink and start the cycle all over! I now realize that I am not one of those people that can have a couple and I never will be! He says he is done with me, and I really don't blame him. I'm just glad that I found this message board and that I have accepted the fact that I have a problem! Just hope I stay as determined as I am right now!

In memory of miracle

Congradulations on your 3 days! Glad your here.

Thank you for replying. I have been on here all day. I can't believe how most all of these stories are so familiar!

I didn't get serious about getting sober until my husband got serious about leaving me.... It freaked me out to begin with but now years later I am so happy and I respect him ALOT for being painfully truthful and not wanting to continue to live with a drunk.

Keep it up, you won't regret it!

That's what we call the 'powerlessness' over alcohol that is 1/2 of the First Step in AA. Have you gone to a meeting and picked up the book yet?
