i will try that tomorrow ... wish me luck please, its the most important moment in my life ... :error

it just may be the most important day of your life...

I'm home before 1 and it's Friday night. Going to stay sober for a month. I never drink at home by myself, but I binge on the weekends. Not really a healthy habit, and I overdid it the entire week leading up to New Years.

It's going to be hard though, I'll be at the bar tomorrow watching playoff games with a ginger ale. :1orglaugh

When you drink everyday and you can't focus on anything else, w/o having a drink :2 cents:

The best way is to tell yourself you're not one...

Good luck Cat :thumbsup

start with large whisky peg.,

I stopped drinking 15 days ago, I feel great but I work too much when I don't drink.

Having a drink was my way of telling myself to stop working for the day. Now I work till I get sleepy.

well, if you drink every day (even if its just a few beers) or cant stay w/o alc beverages for a week you surely are an addict ... i used to drink every day (for almost 30 YEARS !!!) and stopped that habit last year, nov. 25th (it was my last chance; i already had ammonia in my blood! serious case of intoxication :disgust) - no shaky fiingers, no hot/cold shivers - nothing :) lucky me; that made it pretty easy, but still, the head longs for some "kick" so i started doing blunts again lol - but still better than alc ;) good luck :thumbsup

I more prefer to drink little and occasionally then every freaking day.It's simply doesn't have sense to drink every day,even every weekend.

Welcome back to reality... it's not really that bad of a place.

After a day or two heavy drinking, I can't look at another beer or drink, not without losing my lunch at least. Guess I'm one of the lucky ones, kind of.

drink a tequila and all be ok!

Possibly when your wife is begging you to not open that drink to the point of tears but you do anyway?

Is this some kind of a bleak confession??

Just a shit weekend not helped by other's booze intake. Time to get lost in my addiction...work.

It makes perfect sense, if you like something you do as much as possible.

I think the important thing to ask yourself if you are doing it because you like it or because that's what you always do, or because you feel you need to for some reason.

Either of the latter two answers and its time to stop. That's why I stopped.

I enjoy drinking, I like the way I feel about myself and about the world when I drink, but that shit is just not real and so its useless.

It's all mental. You can pick up or put anything down if you have a self discipline and realization. Just know your limits and don't get carried away.

Self...you are an alcoholic. Seriously, if you have been drinking that much it would be wise to taper off or check yourself in a rehab where they can medicate and monitor you.

Sorry to hear that, Sarah...

See username: I feel for yah, good luck :)

I don't drink, so I can't tell myself that. But I do call myself an addict daily.

Good Luck :upsidedow

when you wake up in pee everymorning you might have a problem, other then that you are fine ;)

Bump. Was at a bar for almost 6 hours today watching football with friends, didn't touch a beer. :thumbsup

smoke crack for a couple weeks instead to kick the habit.

Kick him and his bottle to the curb. :2 cents:
