Sadly, I was drunk when I found this site. My partner had just left for a 30 day shift at work and I was feeling lonely and miserable.
Part of me is still in denial, I won't lie. That I do this because I'm grieving my families death, that I have to deal with my aspergers brother, because I'm managing my mums estate, that I'm supporting my brothers... And the list goes on. The part of me that's not in denial knows I've had a drinking problem since I was 15, that I've never had the ability to 'just have a couple', that I do stupid things when I'm drunk. Again, the list goes on.
I'm really glad to have found this site and hope I can give as much help as I have already gotten here

to the family! Quitting drinking is possible. I did it and I thought I was a hopeless drunk. You can do this.

Welcome! Keep reading, keep posting. I too, was a hopeless drunk, now I'm a sober human being with hope and joy in my life. You can do this!

You can do this. Just breakdown the denial one step at a time. Pray for those revelations. Reach out to those in recovery and don't alienate yourself, no matter what you feel. Seek and you will find. Were all in this together.
