    I have to conquer this

    Hi Everyone

    First post here so not really sure what to write. Just spent the last 20 minutes reading about other members problems with the dreaded booze. I have admitted to myself today I have a severe problem with alcohol. I need and want to stop. I have drank every day for the last 10 days ranging from a couple of glasses to a couple of bottles. Its a vicious circle that I need to break. I have lost a fantastic girl to this problem because its makes me dark, depressed and not a nice person to be round. I'm told when I'm not drinking I'm a lovely bloke. So why the hell do I do it. If I'm being honest I don't know. I hate the hangovers, sleepless nights, and above all the stupid situations I get myself into. Well today is the first day of a journey towards becoming alcohol free.

    Thanks

    I have to conquer this

    Welcome Berner.:welcome: I know all about the hangovers and stupid stuff we do while drunk. Today's a good day to quit.:l

    This site is awesome for support on quitting drinking, and you might also make some new friends. Try posting something every day in the Newbie's Nest, and also check out the Tool Box for ideas on making a plan to quit.

    You've made the first step. You came here.:l ODAAT (one day at a time), or one hour, minute, whatever it takes. You can do it!

      Hello Berner,

      It's a :welcome: from me too. You've found a good place. You're mood says you're sad and I feel for you. Like Library Girl says, drop by the Newbies Nest - loads of support there, but I'm sure many will drop by your thread to show some support. Hope to see that mood of yours change soon.

              Just adding my :welcome:, Berner. I've been there and it's a horrible place. But you can overcome it. Keep coming here for help and encouragement--there is a whole lot of it from many with wisdome and long term sobriety, such as Lavande.

                  Hi Berner!
                  Glad to have you here! I completely understand what you're going through. I turned into a two headed monster when I drank. I don't even know who that was! Not to mention all the stupid/dangerous stuff I did while drunk, it's embarrassing to even think about now, but it's also a good reminder of what I never want to go back to.
                  I hope you stick around and read a lot, you'll find that we've all been where you are. Again, welcome!
