It gets easier. I was a very heavy drinker for a number of years. 18-24 pack on work days and even more on weekends.
I drank heavy to forget some things. I had to face them.
What did you accomplish today?

I still drink a drink or two every now and then. On rare occasion ill drink a six pack.
I think back on some of the stupid things I did while drinking and feel ashamed of it.

I'm pretty ashamed at the moment. I fucked up pretty bad and may have ruined everything I've worked so hard for. Kind of at a loss right now. Like I don't know if i can fix this.

My turning point was getting tired of hearing "I'm not talking to you because you're drunk"
even at times I was not. So I cast my crutch aside just to deprive them of one.
I still have a few from time to time but now when I have something on my mind there is
one less excuse to avoid the inevitable.
A win win for everyone depending on how you look at it.

I know this sounds cliche but all you can do is take one day at a time. Forgive yourself. If not it will eat you alive. Work a little at a time to rebuild your life.

@Jimmyjonestoo i recently had to take an inventory on myself. I was drinking at least 6 beers a day (heavy ipa'a a lot of times).
Booze has gotten me in so much trouble over the years. Legal, family etc etc.
The 6 pack a day was a major tone down from what I used to drink daily. But it wasn't working either. It was like I needed 6 beers to be happy. I just wasn't myself anymore.
October 1 I went to Oktoberfest and drank 4 32oz steins of IPA. Someone yelled at our car on the way home and I followed them home and shit got ugly and policey.
After that day I didn't drink for all of October. November I had some glasses of wine (1-2) and I drank 2 beers with bear and one on tc when I got home.
I had a "boys night" on Monday and drank 2 bottles of wine and 10 beers. I had a 2 day hangover. That's when I decided I can't get drunk anymore. It's simply not worth the price of admission.
3 beers is like my limit now. And nothing on weekdays.
"You are a 100% better person" - my wife.
The only shitty thing is I haven't gone on tc much because those fuckers make me wanna DRINK!
Sorry if that was too long, too much info etc. but you're post struck a chord.
I think a lot of us are there or have been there.
we're here if you need to talk brotha.
Ps. I've lost 11 pounds. Lol.

Thank you and definitely not too long. At this point in my life if i had a day i only drank 6 beers I'd probably consider it a day off. I have a temper when i over do it, which is a lot these days, and Saturday night i really over did it. I put someone i love in danger by acting like an asshole over some shit that wouldn't bother me sober. A serious eye opening experience. I appreciate your sharing and your words of encouragement.

Ok pass the chip. I'm in the same boat, day 4 in a long time of no alcohol. Drink a case/ bottle just to fall asleep some nights, wake up crack a beer or anything really. Start getting the shakes in front of everyone by lunch. Yeah that's cool.
Last two days were weird though as far as withdrawals go, auditory/visual hallucinations, and almost felt like I flipped into a seizure today.
Might as well be shooting speedballs into the main vein under my cock the way I've been treating it. (miss you pinworm)
I'm going to give it a good break back to normalcy.

Ditto to what Bobby posted. I had my period as well, fortunately no serious legal affects. Sounds trite but it's true, one can begin afresh and it will work if one is serious. Best wishes bud

@Jimmyjonestoo i feel for you brother. As everyone has said, we’ve all been there. Honestly I’m still there. I’ve tried quitting before but always end up drinking again. Funny, I quit smoking cigs cold turkey and haven’t smoked any weed in at least a month or more.
I do feel like I’m about ready to give beer up too... it does take its toll and just doesn’t seem worth it anymore.
But yet, I type this with a beer in my hand

Everytime I've been in handcuffs I've been blackout drunk. Argue with my sober wife for no reason etc. I will never begin to fathom how alcohol is legal and weed isn't. I don't think I'll ever stop drinking completely. I love beer and wine. But I'm honestly scared of getting drunk now.
That's how bad the hangovers have become. I'm 36 and they just keep getting worse. If it wasn't for the hangovers I would not be at this point. I'm starting to not like the feeling of losing control too though.
OH!!! and the other biggest reason ever is my daughter. No, not some cheesy shit like, "I realized I need to be better for her"... LOL... it's Because she doesn't give a FUCK how hungover I am. 6AM on the button she's awake and ready to party. I simply can't handle a baby while hungover. It's my version of Hell.
@Gary Goodson and I have talked about all this shit before. The struggle is real!

Are we all fucking related or WHAT?

We have a registered S.A. Boerboel & one of the rules of the SABBS is if they are ever "Bite trained" they are disqualified from the register (pretty much black balled).
He's 160 with a bucket full of big pretty ivory - I would really hate for him to be comfortable using them on people (or anything for that matter).
