    I am new here and so happy to have found this site

    :heart:

    I am scared but determined once again to stop drinking. I have tried everything and have been drinking heavily since the age of 26... I am now 31.

    I am sick 2-3 times a week from my binge drinking the night before.
    I regularly find myself blacking out.
    I drink every day.
    I have taken breaks but cant seem to pass the 11 day mark.
    I want my life back. I need my life back. The days without depression.
    I want to feel physically great again.
    I dont want to feel guilt anymore.

    So I will begin my plan. This site has been very helpful for me. I am glad I am not alone on this journey. I will overcome alcohol this time. I am ready! I need me back again.

    Thank you all for being here for me.

    Hugs:h

    You can do this. Take each day as it comes.

      I'm 31 and find it difficult in this day and age NOT to be surrounded by social pressures to drink. As of yesterday it hit me like a truck, literally, as I got the behind the wheel after drinking way too much (like I usually do) and hit another car. Thank goodness no one was hurt, but the shame and guilt I feel for not ever being in control when I drink is unbearable.
      YOU can do this, remember that alcohol is a poison and you don't need it taking over your life!

            Welcome! Sounds a lot like my story and I am almost 30 days AF and everything has changed.

            Do you have a good doc you can talk to? There are some proven drugs that can make it a little "easier" on you?
            If drinking is interfering with your work, you're probably a heavy drinker. If work is interfering with your drinking, you're probably an alcoholic.

              Daffodil.....I drank half a litre of vodka almost daily for 23 years. I have quit, I am happy again, you CAN quit.

              You say you have tried everything.....well you haven't tried MWO

              This place saves lives.

              Jump into the newbies nest.....there are a few of you early in your quit so you will have plenty of company. Or pair up with someone new, but make sure you read and read and post, post, post. Somehow writing this stuff helps get it into our heads.
