Hi everyone. I'm new here and just been reading many of the threads which seem to mimic my own life with drink.
I have recently been making some moves to slow down and stop. Some have worked others have not. My main improvement was to switch from heavy to light beer, which has helped me a lot. I still have a strong thirst though and sometimes I fall over even on light beer. Sad I know.
Like many I put drinking before eating and I cant stand around idle without a drink. If I'm not constantly working to keep busy and stay away from beer I am completely idle and drunk.
I have twins which are 16 months old and I see how they watch me drink. I feel terrible to think of what I am instilling in their little minds. I think my father did the same with me and my brother. I want to stop the cycle. I want to expand my mind beyond this stupid habit. I cant seem to sleep much when I don't drink. That seems to be quite common too.
Thanks for reading....I guess I'm just letting out my thoughts....I will continue to read all of your experiences and try to remember to breath and let go of this urge to have a beer in my hand.
I'm starting today. Fingers crossed.:thanks:
