Hi everyone

My name is Chris (33) and I am sober for probably the first time in I don't know how long.
I have probably been drinking since 1992 and have to admit, I had some good times. But I lost it at some point. The point where my friends stopped drinking and I just continued...

I suddenly feel very tired today. Somehow drinking that much takes a lot of my sleeping time which is so weird as I tend to wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep again.

Reading all the stories here gave me a bit of hope and just maybe I can also quit this stupid thing and will obviously try my best.

I do not have much of a choice as I have a 3 month old boy putting all his trust in me and I am so glad, as this responsibility might just be the trigger that makes me quit the bad stuff. But I need to stay sober!

I need to congratulate you guys on getting as far as you did. I am so sure that this is probably the most dufficult thing I am ever gonna take on. I have quit smoking 2 years ago and I somehow feel that quiting alcahol is gonna be a 100 times worse.

This ones for Ruben...

:D Good for you...Welcome!

You can stay sober too..we all started out as you are..
with a desire to quit.

I had to want to stay sober more than I wanted to drink.
AA works great!!

Blessings to you and Ruben...

Just wanna say thanks for the support and good words.

Have slipped most of the days (and feel very guilty) having work parties etc... i still wanna do this, just don't know exactly how to start. Seems to go well the first day and when I reach the second day being sober I want to celebrate it... I know it is very stupid but being an alcaholic seems to be just as stupid.

Have decided that Monday will be the day that everything changes.

Enjoy the week end
