I need to start to live my life now!!!!

[Keepon!!!!]

Hi all I found this site this morning and been reading the threads for hours I can understand all what people are saying . I know i have a problem and have done for a long time ive tryed lots of different methods to help myself and always end up at square one. Alcohol is destroying my life (or should i say i am allowing it to destroy my life) I have no close friends or family to talk to about this they dont understand me and reading all the threads it made me feel like ive actually got some nice people i can talk too!!!!! I would love to be able to live my life normally. I am a binge drinker i can go without alcohol for 3 weeks then all of a sudden i drink for weeks at a time because im scared to stop then i do then i suffer then i dont drink for weeks then it happens all over again messing up everything i acheived in them sober weeks im so sick of this i feel ive no where to turn and just get on with it alone but i know im doing my body harm !!!! Thankyou for reading this and i hope u can give me some advice xxx:new: :thanks:

Welcome to the group. Like you I started reading the posts and felt the same way about a month ago. The first thing I would do is read the book MY WAY OUT. I have read every quit drinking book imaginable and this was by far the best program that I have come across. It has medications, supplements, and hypno cds that make this program a success. But everyone here custom fits this to their needs. I take the meds and supplements and don't do the hypno cds. Others take the supplements and do the cd's without the meds, it's completely up to you. But the support system here is awesome. I look forward to getting up everyday and replying to threads and seeing what everyone else has to say about mine. You can also chat as well which really helps. I hope you get the book and look forward to hearing from you

The wonder of this program is there is not right or wrong. We all have the same goal--to drink less and not let alcohol control us. Set small goals for yourself to start. When you go off on a binger, mix in an AF day every third day. And then when the good feeling you get from that sinks in, throw in another AF day. I've cut back from my normal routine of drinking, and still do admittedly have a ways to go, but I am at least starting to make progress. Again the uniqueness of this program is that there is no right or wrong way to do it. Just keep setting your goals day by day to drink alittle less than you have before, and you will have won a victory. Pretty soon you'll get a handle on your binge drinking. Good luck. Look forward to hearing from you again.
