So I’m pretty sure I have a problem. I love beer so much but I don’t have an off switch. I also find myself not being able to wait to leave a non-alcohol situation so I can start drinking. Too many blackouts recently, which as you know are totally scary. Waking up the next day and not being able to remember what you said or did is a horror. Cringing as you hear the “funny” stories is getting old. I have been dry since Sunday and am hoping to keep it going. I’ve tried numerous times in the past to “cut down” or “moderate” but it doesn’t work. I find myself drinking too much and telling myself it’s ok because I work hard, have a stressful job, juggle wife/kids/house/etc and that I earned/deserve it. I am not against AA and know many people who have had their lives saved by it, but I just don’t think it’s for me. I think I can accept the fact that I am powerless over alcohol but quit on my own terms by myself. Anyone else ever done this or am I deluding myself?
I’ve always loved the Sinatra line “I feel bad for those who don’t drink, when they wake up in the morning that’s the best they’ll feel all day”. Now I’ll be one of those guys. I’m sure family and friend social pressures will be tough but I think I can do this.
