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. "The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self supporting through our own contributions" For you: http://aa-cenla.com/wp-content/uploa...ry-10-2014.pdf http://aa-cenla.com/ For your loved ones: http://www.al-anon.alateen.org/ Last edited by bmac; 04-08-2014 at 07:21 AM. |

The hardest part is over - you admitted you have a problem. AA is a great step in the right direction. Your not alone as everyone else has shown you.

Alcohol killed my daddy in 2000 at age 57. That's too young. Work hard to beat this and stick around for your grand children and great grand children.

My hat is off to you as I still lean on a cold beer to take the edge off of a bad day. I can't handle the hard stuff but, I doubt one is any better than the other. Be careful with the DT's. I've seen how they work on a person.
My prayers are with you and, especially those around you during this time. |

I'm different, I would never turn to a drink when the going got tuff. My weakest time for a good cold brew is when things are going great & I am enjoying what I am doing at the moment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Give me a shout if you need, bro. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
If a day is too long, just make it to the next hour. If the hour's too long, make it to the next minute... and find something else to do that you wouldn't do with that glass in your hand. A lot of guys here care about your crazy a$$, and Lord knows your family does too. Put that in the front of your mind and use it to make yourself better.

Well day one is in the books. Its just one day but every journey has to start with the first step. Had trouble falling asleep last night but still got up this morning feeling pretty darn good. Mu wife said I have to let my body learn what its like to fall asleep instead of passing out. It made me laugh but the sad part is that its truth. John
