Day One
Today is the day I admit to myself that I have a major problem with alcohol. I no longer drink "socially." I drink to "self-medicate."
I have gained a lot of weight because of my drinking. I have procrastinated on projects and life goals. I don't exercise like I should due to alcohol use. PLUS I feel miserable.
As a "functioning" alcoholic, I have not lost my job, or my friends, or my family, or anything else. That's why it's so difficult to admit to the extent of my problem.
I think seeing the bio of Anna Nicole Smith was a "wake up" call for me.
I am tired of waking up in the recliner chair at 2 AM, after having passed out from drinking. I call it "sleeping," but any reasonable people would know I'm passed out drunk.
I am writing here to declare to myself and others, that I intend to stay sober today. That's all for now.
