Starting my journey again to be free from alcohol addiction DAY 1

It's been more than half a year since I've been on this site to write about my experiences with trying to stop drinking. I'm ashamed to say that I've kept away because when I started drinking again, I eventually got to the point where I completely justified my drinking. Because I only drink beer, somehow I've managed to convince myself that I'm better off than those who drink harder liquor.  Anyway, I truly believe that I have a problem.  My wife is not happy with my drinking. I know deep down in my heart that I should stop. I know that because of my problem, I can never be an occasional, social drinker because of my tendency to abuse it. So today, I am making a commitment to quit once again. I know that I need help. I hope fellow members can help me get through this. I look forward to counting down each day that I'm sober.  Thank you
