Alcoholism
I am dealing and have been dealing my whole life with an addiction to alcohol. I am one of those people that can't just have one drink. I have black outs and have caused many problems over the years with my drinking. Noone wants to be a drunk, but I think that I am. I have a great job and a wonderful family, but I can't seem to get my drinking under control. I have been able to quit periodically for a while and then I think that I have it under control, but it's time to realize that I don't have it under control. Sorry to bring this topic to this forum, but I need to get it off my chest. Have any of you ever had problems with alcohol and if so, how did you get it under control.

Get your ass to AA, Mr. Brianfo.

If you think you may have a problem, you do.

Yup. there are some people who can deal with this issue on their own, but you are obviously not one of them.

FWIW, I am surrounded by alcoholics and have seen all kinds, so if you have anything that you want to ask feel free, or ask in a PM.

I've been an alcoholic all my life. Been to rehab a few times and even went stone cold sober for most of the past year. I just don't feel the need to get smashed anymore, so I'm better able to handle my drink, but for the longest time- it's all I ever did- drink to get *****ed up.

Nobody has any magic potion to get you to quit drinking. But, like anything else in this world, your first step to salvation is recognizing you have a problem. Once the recognition sets in, it's up to you to acknowledge it.

Good luck with whatever direction you choose.

I never have had a problem with alcohol but had a drug problem for over tens years to me alcohol is just a legal drug. I have been drug free for eight months now I know hard to believe with 420 in my name but people change. The thing I had to realize is you have to want to quit you can't just say it you have to really want to quit it is a fight with your self really. I can only speak for my self but my battle was more in the mind when you want a drink or think about it find some thing else to do fast or some one to talk to. If you just keep sitting there thinking about it your going to lose the fight I know easier said then done. I know it sucks but you might have to think about who you hang out with hard to stay sober watching other people drink. I will pray for you stay strong and find people to help you fight the problem you don't have to do this a lone.

I tend to binge drink. If I'm on vacation, at a wedding or just hanging out with friends I always be counted on to be legally intoxicated and then some. I'm personally OK with that though, I'm a very happy drunk and it's pretty far and in-between.

The only time I noticed it getting really bad is when I was laid off and had way too much time on my hands.

I really need to be mentally alert at work so I can't drink during the week and now that I'm not single anymore even my free time isn't really "free" anymore so I don't have the time to will away boozing.

The point I'm poorly trying to make is that you may just have too much time on your hands and your filling that void with alcohol as opposed to being an alcoholic who is physically dependent on having the drug in your system.

If that's not the case then you may need help outside of what you can provide for yourself.

Check out this BB, I frequented there when I was going through my laid off period to get a measuring stick of what my problem was.

After reading my post, I think I may have come across as a tad harsh there, Mr. Brianfo. Instead, I want to second Mr. morphius' offer.

Please feel free to let me know if/when you would like to discuss this privately. In the world I used to live in, I saw alcoholism utterly destroy many friends and I've attended many open AA meetings in support of people I care about. In my view, AA is, by far, the best way to overcome this disease. The 12 step program is inspired and workable. Please feel free to send me a PM should you choose. I would welcome the opportunity to help in any way.

If you are so dependent that you need to detox.. I would really recommend the Program at Shawnee Mission, very nice and understanding staff that won't take any chit...

But the long term is you gotta get to AA

That should be your central motivation right there! Sh*t, ever since I adopted my dog, my drinking has dropped profoundly. I have a primary responsibility to my dog and I refuse to ignore my responsibilities by sleeping away a hangover all day.

Thank you for your help. I am going to go to an AA meeting this week and see what it's all about. The hardest thing is to admit that you can't control it. I don't like to lose and alcohol has beaten me. I also am the type of person that worries a lot about what people think of me. Noone wakes up in the morning wanting to be a drunk, but that's what I have become and if I don't get help, I think it will kill me.

I say try spending more time with the family as opposed to drinking. If you feel like having a drink, go play with your kids instead. Go bang the hell out of your wife or something.

Ultimately you have to come to the conclusion, "fug them, I dont' care what people think about me.. I'm doing this for ME"..

besides.. its way better to be thought of as a recovering alcoholic than a fuggin drunk waste of space.. right?
