Good luck, fill the time with stuff that you like, but can't do on the whiskey....!

I keep my cigs in check by reminding myself how crappy they make my runs, or other physical training. Then when i do sit an have a smoke or a drink, it's that much better.

Use your family and loved ones as motivation.

My breaking point was telling my family and my son hugging me. Wife and daughter knew I was getting in too deep I think. My son(my buddy) just thought dad always had a glass of coke. 1/2 coke-1/2 bourbon. He's 15 and my best bud. Him hugging me and telling me "we can fix this" just broke me down. J.
If you knew my son you would understand. He's all a man can ask for in a young man.

Good luck man but seriously, you need to go to the doctor. If your drinking that much, you can go into full blown DT's and die. Quiting is the right answer but you need to seek medical advise from your dr

Been there done that. At age 20 28 days rehab, 6 months halfway house, and 15 years in AA. If you need any help send me a pm. I don't go to any meetings anymore but can help steer you in the right direction if needed.

Good luck man. We are going through it with mother in law right now. Bottle of tequila a day for several years put her in the hospital for a week and 2 months later she still can't remember what happened 10 minutes ago and asking about her dog that's been gone for 15 years. Talk about a wake up call to my drinking. Praying for the best for you and your family.

That's the freight train I want to avoid. I knew it was coming if I didn't do something. Gota get it under control before im so far in im convincing myself I have it under control.

Good luck. Its tough to give it up but admitting you have a problem is that hardest part.

bmac 04-08-2014 07:11 AM

You don't have to do it alone. AA works for many. Get ready for the toughest and most important fight of your life.

FWIW you can have a drinking problem and not be an alcoholic. There was a point in my life that I was drinking a 12 pack a day and i truly thought I was an alcoholic. I went to some meetings and over time I realized I was just unhappy with where I was in life. The AA meetings put things in perspective. Once I recognized the real issue and fixed the things in my life that could be fixed, and accepted those things that couldn't, the drinking dropped off. Now I might drink 4 beers on a Saturday while watching a game of BBQing.
