Today is day number ??? that I have been drunk. I know it's bad when I can't even remember the last day I didn't have a drink. I got home from work at 12pm today, my kids are on Spring Break but they are out somewhere with their Aunt. I should have just gone to bed but instead I drive to the store for some beer. It's gotten to the point where I don't want to spend so much money so I buy the cheap stuff. I've been drinking Steel Reserve for far too ling now. It tastes nasty but I've gotten used to it. What havoc this shit must have on my insides not to mention the damage I continually do to my mind. I want to quit. I don't want my kids to end up drinking like me, the way I ended up drinking like my Dad. I Will Not Drink Today! I tell myself that every morning but I guess I'm just not listening.

I suspect that, like me, you\'re not quite ready to stop. But I suspect that, like me, you\'re on the verge...
Sorry, I can\'t offer anything better...
hi there, my father was a alcoholic and he died as a result of that.
i wish there was something i could say or wave a magic wand to help you, believe me i tried with my own dad, but i know youve probably heard this before, but it has to be you, you have to take that first step.
the fact that your here asking for advice is great and shows you maybe ready and i know its scary, my dad was the strongest person i knew, but he was petrified of what life would be like without drink.
i truly hope you can take the first step, before things get out of hand, and just think of your children, they need you more than you could imagine, you couldnt have a better reason than that.
i cant imagine how hard it must be for alcoholics, i know it is a illness,it is also a family illness, and you can be helped, with the right support.
but like i said i dont want to preach, because i know how hard it is, otherwise my dad would still be here.
my thoughts are with you, and if you need to talk, or see it from another perspective, im here for you

You can\'t just tell yourself that in the morning... ALL DAY! Everytime you get the urge, you have to find something else to think about! For today! Just tell keep telling yourself \"today I am not drinking\" All Day! Everytime you get thirsty! You can not dwell on drinking... change your thinking! and your habits. You can do this! Just don\'t drink today!
