Terriable addiction. I have seen many families destroyed and very sad for the people that love them that are addicted. So sad.

I maybe have a couple beers a year, never seen any joy or value in drinking.

We are indeed. I prefer the Herb for anxiety, ha. Helps me most times, though I do know a few folks who feel worse when they partake. Depends on the strain & source I guess.

Slowed down quite a bit on my drinking about a year ago. Now it's once every blue moon for me. Quit binge drinking on top of that. One or two drinks is my limit.

This has been your only post on this thread. I'll be sober 21 years here shortly, just sayin'.

Thanks to alcohol, I don't drink today.

I got divorced 20 years ago because my ex is an alcoholic. She would start as soon as the bar opened at noon and would stay until it closed at 1am. She quit working and would spend 50 dollars a day, that was 20 years ago. Today she rents a bedroom in a basement from a guy and drinks herself into Oblivion everyday. She's 60 and never figured she would love this long. Oh, also has 3 DWI.

Sad. I think there's many more female alcoholics than people realize.

I don't drink because my old man was one. Hated him the whole time but still thank him for showing me what not to be!


I can certainly relate to that !! When my Dad was drinking I always said-He was a very good example of a bad example-BTW he quit drinking over 40 years ago!!! I also said if he could quit anybody could....

Over the years i have missed work, been dehydrated and called 911 cause i thought i was having a stroke, crying on the phone with my bro, It does suck I guess it just puts me in another state of mind where I really don't care.If it wasn't for my 2 little dogs I probably wouldn't be in this world. It's hard especially when something happens in your life.I quit for 11 days one time then back to drinking. I keep telling myself Im going to quit but again puts me where I don't think of stuff i guess. I would say anyone who has the problem try to get some help. Just doesn't work for me. I spent 20 years in MC and am hard headed I guess.Alcoholism is bad I know.I"m trying to quit again. Just have all kind of excesses. At least I admit it. Just thought I would vent a little because some wont. OK pray for me. I'm just a mess.. not looking for sympathy. just in my head I know what I have to do IT IS JUST HARD BY MYSELF. Thanks for listening CGB


CGBURNETT I understand your post better than I should. I am in kinda the same place but I still have a loving wife and kids. lotta bad stuff happened when I was young. abused by my dad and was told to never tell or he would kill me. I'm 58 now and am 3 1/2 mths sober so far. I didn't remember a lot of things till after he died 2 years ago then the memories came flooding back, I couldn't understand why am I now dealing with this but with the help of a councilor i am now allowed to face these things because he can no longer hurt me. it really sucks and drinking does put me on the other side of things where i don't care. i was told I'm a much happier guy when I'm drinking. middle son got married in may and asked me to stop drinking so i could maybe someday see his children. (that should sober me up) so i quit on Friday 5/17 he got married 5/19 and ive been struggling every day and almost every minute. sometimes if i can just get thru the evening and go to bed early it helps. evening and night time has always been the worst.
my favorite drink is Burnetts vodka straight out of the bottle, usually a 5th a day or more.
CG i feel your pain

I don't feel that was or is the intention with the posters here but relating life situations has value in many ways.

On another note there are many alcoholics for a whole host of reasons find value and meaning in online meetings and discussion. It is good for those that need a meeting to know that they can find one.
