Uh....wellll....sounds like ya gotta problem but also sounds like you came to the right place.

thanks

Congrats on your decision to make a change in your life.I found that AA not only solved my drinking problem but it also provided me with a guide for living my life.It also introduced me to a great bunch of sober people.Stick around.Theres a great bunch of people here.

Hi ~ Yeah, I can relate to the fights, suicidal thoughts, and not remembering anything! Luckily I never ended up in the hospital, although I should have for alcohol poisoning more than once!

I'm GLAD you don't think you can do this anymore!! I'd hate to think you'd keep on like I did and wait til you're in your 40's or something. Or die. Yep, you came to the right place, alright.

Please stick around. I don't know how you feel about it, but AA saved MY butt. Just a thought. WELCOME!

You have taken a great first step. the one thing I have learned is I can't stay sober on my own I need help of others. Welcome to the forum.

When I was your age,my drinking patterns were similar.I didn't drink every day,usually only on weekends,but when I did get started,I went until I was totally gone.As time passed,that started to happen more often until it became an everyday thing.Then I couldn't stop.It progressed steadily for me.It may be a good time for you to take a long hard look at what it's like for you now and do something about it before it does progress.I can't take the first drink.No moderating,no controlling it,that just won't happen.You are at a good place here,there are people whose experience can help you a lot.Take care.

You are telling my story: the last ten years of my drinking consisted of binge drinking to oblivion. Inbetween the binges I needed to drink but didn't because of my liver disease. I was a terrible dry drunk miserable to be around filled with fear and anger and drove the people that I loved out of my life.

From what I was taught in the beginning, its not what you drink or when you drink IT"S what you DID when you drink.


Wish you well, there is a solution.

i could have written what you wrote some time back but i am o.k. today with who i am. i am devon and i am an alcoholic and a drug addict. my father and my brother are dead because those labels were unacceptable by them. i am alive and i am just who i said i was. an alcoholic. a drug addict. i have been dying by degrees for many years but i am here now and i beg those of you who know more than me to help me save my life so i may save others. while i have clean time i will never be free of this disease--and that is o.k.--i am here to help. call on me. i do not know much but i am here and i will always be here for anyway who needs me. should you need me please leave me a message. devon

I was also a spree drinker. Each binge I needed just alittle more. Pretty soon I couldn't take what I had become. Alcoholics come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. Some quit earlier then I did. The last binge I realized I didn't want to be the person I had become. Sucide was my answer I thought. But I had failed doing it and in the hospital I ended up. A nurse told me about AA so I went. I remember yrs ago going to AA but I can't remember what for. (denial) I had a big swig of vodka before I went through the door. Don't remember much but I did my usual and left with a man. He later got his way with me. I didn't go back. 8 years ago I walked into AA with hope, and they even invited me back. And I went back and finally got around to doing what was suggested to me. I don't ever want to go back where I was...never, because my life was not something I would want to brag about. You'll know when you have had enough when you look in the mirror and realize you're a piece of crap. Love Ya and wish You all what you need to do for your problem. Katz
