Sad and Lost
Where was I when I found SR? Sad and lost I guess is the best way to describe myself at the moment. I have been sober three days now after getting drunk Sunday and being verbally abusive to my wife. She is a great lady and has put up with a lot from me in the few years we have been together. I have tried to quit on my own before but realized Monday I need help with this.
I went to my first meeting last night and realized that it was just what I needed. I will start counseling for anger management next week as well. I don't feel the need to drink very often but when I do I am not the greatest of people since I consume whatever is in front of me and lash out after.
Hurting my wife with the things I have said just kills me. Sorry for the long post, just trying to get my true feelings about how I feel at the moment out. Thanks for providing this great site.

Glad you are here, keep coming back!!
welcome and congratulations on recognising your problem and trying to make a change. you're already making progress. I'v been drinking for many years and didn't realise I had a problem until i tried to stop. I started SR over a year ago and AA six months ago. I'm still drinking. that's not to say that SR and AA don't work, I believe with my heart they do but you have to work the program. The reason i still drink is that it is still a secret i keep from my husband and that secret is keeping me sick. I've decided this week to tell my husband. I believe it is a turning point in my recovery because i'll be able to go to meetings whenever i need to without hiding it. It's a point I had to arrive at on my own. My point is, this is your journey my friend. You will recover when you are ready to. I hope that is now. I wish you much love and support.
