Weekend Party Guy...

[lookinthemirror]

I go Monday thru Thursday without even wanting a drink. But, come Friday, its to the Liqour Store for Miller Lite, Jack and Wine. I call myself "just having fun" but really I am drinking way to much. Today, I did not go to work because I was too hung over from the weekend. I have been down on myself all day. I felt like crap all day.

I am 50 now and I don't recover like I used too. I tried moderation starting two years ago; the no drinking Monday - Thursday rule. Well, its time for the next step. I got to give up the acohol period.

I dont drink and drive - thank God. I am usually at home on the weekend drinking to much at night.

The truth is I am a very fit guy (gym rat), but I am not happy with the excess drinking ; clouds my judgment and leaves me feeling bad.

I am going to give up drinking. Right now the thought of drinking is repulsive to me. I am going to do this.

Hi there Look,
Good move on getting rid of something that no longer works for you.
Drinking also made me very depressed being sober, I do feel much better about myself.
Theres lots of support here and everyone understands what you are going through. So stay close to the boards and best wishes on your journey.

we're here if you need any support...you will find quite a few "gym rats" or at least exercisers in the abstainers forum under abbercizers...
