Funny, I first quit drinking 5 years ago and it lasted 6 months plus I joined AA briefly. I never told my story at AA, just sat there and listened and said I am not like these people. Some had been homeless, prostitues, abusers, etc. I just drank a lot every day, but never hide it or pretend it does not exist...so where can I go?? It was so hard to quit all the way when society is so geared towards drinking...obviously I fell off the wagon and decided I would be moderate about things. That lasted for some time, but here I am again.
I am 35 years old...just married for the 1st time this last month. Wine is my drink of choice and my back up is Jim Beam. I typically drink a bottle a night, some more on the weekends depending if I am out or not. My husband and i have been together for some time, so he knows and he drinks just as much if not more every day. We enjoy drinking together- it's what we do. Sad when that is your only hobby...
He is coming home from work in an few and I am going to talk to him about changing our lifestyle. I want to be able to drink and not be mean, and not forget and not have migraines the next day. He is a fun drunk and can moderate...I don't know if I can...Any advice??
I have been drinking for 18 years and have lost many friends/boyfrinds/etc. due to it. I have been arrested for drunken driving. I forget more than I remember now, even when sober. I know alcohol damages brain cells...is that why?
Too many questions and I guess I am not making much sense. Thanks for listening out there!
