    Howdy

    I came to a realization today that I have to get some help with this problem. I was surfing for
    sites on Alcoholism and ran into this site. I drink every day usually about a 12-pack or more sometimes hard stuff too. I haven't been able to control the amount I drink or stop at a certain amount. Just keep drinking till I pass out or have to go to bed. I have been missing more days of work. (Usually Mondays) I can't keep this up. It is not good. I am heartened upon finding this site and reading some of the threads. I had my Mother here for 2 weeks and told myself I would behave but I drank the whole time. It made me feel embarrassed but It didn't make me stop. I'm going to get this book and some of the sups. I have always thought there must be a way to get help but really don't want to try AA (nothing against it but not for me)
    Well, we'll see. I have beer here now and I don't want to drink it. I hope this is a new beginning for me.
    I have know for years that something has to happen or else. I can almost even remember when the daily drinking started and thinking at the time how strange it was.
    Please wish me luck as I explore this direction. :new

    Welcome, Bartimus. You've taken a big step, and there's every reason to believe you can beat this thing and get your life back. Getting the book, and reading it, and starting on some of the supps, are good starts... also hanging around here, reading a lot of posts, getting into the community (that is a HUGE part of any successful program).

    best wishes,

    wip

      Well Howdy Bartimus and Welcome,

      Good for you gettng the book and ordering supps.....they really are the backbone of this program! This program really works but yes, it still takes work! When I stopped, I found it best not to have alcohol in the house. When it is there, it takes so little to give in to a what would be, temporary urge!

      I hope you stick around and get to know us!
      Best Wishes,
      Kate

        Welcome Bartimus,
        On here you will find people at all different stages of this journey, each one with something to offer in the way of advice, help and support. Read the book, take the supps, look at your diet, it does help to try to eat as healthily as possible as large quantities of alcohol robs the body of vital nutrients and vitamins, try to keep busy and keep your mind occupied and also try to come on here as often as you can to read and post.

        I wish you luck,
        Louise.

                      Thanks too all.

                      :thanks:
                      Thanks to all who have responded. I can tell this is a great site and I will be here often. Please forgive me if I don't post back frequently because I'm still new to these boards and don't quite understand a lot of it. But I will be checking and reading and a lot I can tell!
                      This is day two and I realized that I can't remember the last time I went 2 days af.
                      I have drunk a swimming pool of water today!

                        Bartimus, Thanks for the update. 2 DAYS !! that is GREAT. Don't worry about how much you do or don't post, some people do some people don't. Love the drinking a swimming pool of water...have you read the "Swimming Pool..." thread on General Discussion... it is the very first thread and always there for inspiration, it is really a good thing to read.

                        Keep us posted as you wish..

                            Welcome Bartimus, congrats on 2 days. This site has been a blessing for me since I have hidden my drinking from almost everyone in my life. I would never do AA because then people would know. This site has been a great help for me because I now have the wisdom and support others who are going through the same thing. This is a great place. Good luck.
