Who are you people?

I am a 33 year old male from Wales. Have 1 daughter who doesnt live with me, but with whom i see regularly and stays once or twice a week.
Have been in the catering trade since i was 16. Have just finished working at the golf club due to host the next ryder cup, so am currently unemployed.
Have been drinking all my life, and have been a binge drinker since my teens.
Have managed 4 and a half years without booze, but started drinking again 2 years ago, and everything has slowly slipped away since then.
Ive got a lovely caring girlfriend who has stuck by me through my binging and mental abuse, though i think if it happens again i will be single
So im finishing day 5 hopefull i can keep everything together.
Thanks for listening

My concept of "Old" keeps changing the older I get

Great thread-what a wonderful way to get to know a little about everyone. Makes me feel closer to people and enjoy some of the common denominators I see - occupation, areas I've been too, same struggles I've endured, etc.

Me: Married 18 years to a great guy without a drinking problem
2 pre-teen (wonderful) sons
Work in the healthcare field
Live with a zoo of animals from hamsters and rabbits to cats and a dog.
Love psychology, philosophy, positive books that help me grow spiritually.
Enjoy traveling with family and somewhere really exotic once a year with hubby.
Also love scrap-booking (keeping those memories alive), reading, writing (poetry, articles and... that book some day).
Goal: To be able to moderate. Went AF for 7 years and then returned to drinking. Back at that point again where I have to do something as the drinking with abandon is getting me into trouble again.
Value: My family, my health, and my friends. I'm a great friend to people and am the kind of person that can be counted on. AL hasn't wrecked that although it could as I've started to have episodes of blacking out the last few times I've gotten drunk.
Moderating since Sept 2, 08 ~ Tracking my progress ~ keep me in your prayers and mine are with everyone on this board.

Hi, I haven't posted much as of late, been busy at work (good thing!)
I'm a 49 yr old single mom of 2 girls, 22 and 17 (18 in November!)
Divorced for 10 years, with BF for 9
4 dogs, after loosing one a month ago, a year and half shi-zu, 7 yr old springer spaniel, a 8 (we think) yr old stray we rescued and a 15 yr old springer who is loosing ground quickly.
I love to cook, more for bigger crowds, family is SO picky plus my oldest has Celiac's so it can be challenging at time.
My oldest is looking at culinary for an occupation, presently out of work (uuugghhh) and living at home./
Youngest just started community college, is going for her EMT license and wants to go into nursing.
Once they are both out of the house I want to move South. Live in CT and tired of these New England Winters.
Not many hobbies, LOVE the beach and am heading back to Key West (alone) in 10 days!!!!
Love shopping, bicycling, photography, swimming, snorkeling, and trying to get back into going to the gym.
Can't think of much else right now.........
