    About Me

    I am 33 years old and a married with 3 kids (6, 4 and 7 months) I have been drinking since I was about 14 a habit me and my two brothers both picked up from my dad. My two brothers have found ways to stop but I on the other hand cannot. My wife has threatened to leave me because of the drinking but I just started to hide it from her. I want to quit for the sake of not only myself but my children. I don't want them to end up taking the same route as me.

    Interests

    Sports and music. I love the Counting Crows as you can see from my handle. Adam's lyrics are just so dark and expressive. I grew up in LA so I am a Dodgers and Lakers fan even though I now live in the Bay Area. As far as football I am an Eagles fan. I used to love the Rams but when they skipped town I skipped them.

    • Close Alcoholism

      I am 32 years old. I have been an alcoholic since I was 14. I got married 6 years ago and have three beautiful daughters and a wonderful wife. I don't want to drink anymore. I tell myself that every day and then I buy more beer. Beer is my poison. I do not drink liquor. I wish I would not drink any alcohol. My girls are growing up so fast and I am letting it all go by. I am afraid to lose my wife and my family but no matter how much self hatred I spew on myself it never changes.
