Just saying Hi; man am I sick of being sick...
I only joined yesterday, it is so good to talk to people in the same boat, I cannot advise but only to say you are not alone. Please take care. Speak later.

Apparently I have a problem, and its time to face it like the problem it is instead of this macho attitude "its not a problem, and I can stop at any time!" .....Long story short, I thought when I started back to college this Fall (plus I work full time), I would slow down my drinking, especially during the week, and save it for the weekends. Well, I thought I would only drink 8-10 beers on the wknds and it seems I somehow try to make up for the light drinking during the week.
I put away 2 cases of beer this past weekend and ended up missing work and a day of class because of a test I failed to be prepared for. Thats it! Ive had it! I cant keep doing this if Im going to make good grades and actually learn what Im in school for. I need to stop anyway, 20 years of drinking and partying is enough. Ive been very slow on the partying, hardly go out in the last 4 years, but its like I just do it at home.
Anyways, just wanted to say Hi, and Monday was day 1 of hopefully many days in a row of no drinks. I signed up to that graph and want zeroes as much as possible. Beer was always my thing, and I thought it was ok since Im not doing drugs or going to the liquor store every week.....boy was I wrong....alcohol is alcohol. Time to claw my way out of this hole, hence my chosen nic because I know its gonna be a bloody battle. Thanks for reading.

)because I have a supportive boyfriend. He never nagged me about my drinking either, no one did. Now he's liking this as he calls it "the not drinking thing". We pretty much always get along but now it's even better. It is fantastic to make the decision on your own, it feels super empowering. We've also become distant from old buddies who still want to party too hard mainly because It's gotten really old. I've just gotten tired of it, and sick of feeling like crap. This first step of the 30 day challenge... I feel so much better the rewards are amazing. I am in shock at how in such a pretty short time... I can feel this much better. Good luck to you!
