Alcoholism Support Group
Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.

i had some time off work a week ago. i had nothing planned for the 1st couple of days so i drank...and then i drank some more. in the end, i managed to drink 4 75cl bottles of vodka in 3 days. the comedown was absolutely horrible. i didn't get a winks sleep. intense stomach ache. complete brain meltdown. there was no motivation to do any activities so i drank because i could. it beggars belief how much i drank. why couldn't i just be happy with say, a 4 pack of super-dooper strong lager? why the hard stuff? anyway, my head is back to normal and i'm back at work sober. i'm trying to convince myself there won't be a next time but i've slipped up before.
surely the prospect of dying of bad health is enough to put anyone off the booze?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

I'm glad there's someone here similar (at least in age and country) to myself that is sick of falling into the same trap.
Let's beat this bastard! Or get drunk trying! (Bad joke at the end there - sorry!)
Instead I must realize that I'M my problem. Not my bad health. (And yes, I'm physically and irreversably affected by my drinking) I'm the reason my life is messed up. Alcohol is but a symptom of my disease. Just like my bad health is a symptom of my disease. I can't use other things as scapegoats for why I drink. I drink because I'm an alcoholic and for no other reason. Therefore I need to be sober because I'm an alcoholic, and for no other reason. When you're sick of you, not sick of you being sick. There's help. This is a three fold disease: mind, body and spirit. Where are you with the other two?
Good luck my friend.
