Its taken me 20 years of getting pissed and enjoyoing (NOT) myself to relaise that my fun is all alcohol. I can have fun without it. I look at my beautiful daughter and can see wht real fun is! Being cheeky, smart and why the fuck did I ever have a drink!!!!!! Im so pissed off with myself as went to a function last nigh! Swilled about 10 wines and cant remember getting home, massive argument with wife this morning , go into work and have a breakdown and have to leave (2nd week of new job!!!!) Sucks eh!!!! What a complete wanker I am!!!!!! Prompted me to go to amn AA meeting, just got back from that and feel destroyed by what I am. An Alcoholic..............
I dont know what to do next, I'll keep on going I suppose and see how things pan out, you know what I want to do now! Get drunk and say fuck everybody but I cant because I dont want to loose my family and I need to keep my job to pay for my kids upbringing! OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome Over it....MWO is a great place to find support you need with words of encouragement and education. Many people here have been right where you are and they did find their way out. Others, like me, are on a path and have good days and dog days but we keep coming back. We come back to straighten ourselves out and commiserate with others that struggle with AL.

It sounds like you know what you want to do, now it's time to make a plan and begin a new life. I look forward to seeing you on the boards and maybe one day we'll meet up in chat.

Blessings,
flyin

Hi Over it,

It can be quite a shock to realize that one has a big problem with alcohol, but if you drink it will only make matters worse.

I'd suggest spending a lot of time here. I'm only on day 11, but the good people on this site helped me to get to this point. It is good to have you here and I hope you visit and post often.

I am an alcoholic

When I first decided to get sober, it was because I didn't want to turn out to be a drunken good for nothing father to my little girl. I was determined I was not going to let my daughter (who was about 3 then) grow up having to deal with my alcoholism as my (then) partner 'had' too and my family and friends. I put all my effort and focus on becoming the father I wanted to be to my little girl. What I didn't do was put all the focus on me as a person. In doing so I managed to stay sober for short periods before eventually reaching out for the alcohol again.

What I've learned is that I had to get sober for ME and ME alone. In doing so I am becoming the father, brother, son that I've always wanted to be. I'm being real to myself fist and foremost so I can be real with everyone else.

You don't put the oxygen mask on your child first if a plane is 'going down' you put the oxygen mask on yourself first so you can help your child. The same is said about recovery. You have to get well for yourself first before you can help anyone else. My recovery comes before anything because without that I'm useless as a person to anyone. I'll end up falling back into old behaviours and eventually I will drink again.

Accepting I was an alcoholic (and not just cognitively) took some time for me. I was still in denial for a long time because I was caught up in the delusion that blocked me from seeing it. I would tell people "I'm an alcoholic". I was made up with myself going to meetings and telling people I was doing great!. But what I was doing was masking any kind of acceptance of my alcoholism through deflecting the attention of myself onto others.

Stick around, read and learn and keep posting. I found face to face contact very hard in the beginning as I was isolating BIG time. So I found it easier to post here at first. I soon realised though that I needed to start getting out my comfort zone and making real connections with other alcoholics who knew how my head worked.

Love and Light

Hi Overit,

Welcome. I just wanted to say how refreshing I found your post. You don't seem to whack around the bush and I have no doubt that you have the perserverance it takes to tackle this.

Good Luck and all the best.
