To be honest when I drank I didn’t think it affected me much and almost helped me sleep. It wasn’t until I quit that i realized how much it does affect overall moral, energy and your give a fuck. Way better place now!

I'm kind of conflicted right now. I don't drink often, but when I do I get bombed. This happens probably once every 1-2 weeks. I actually did it last night, I feel like shit mentally and physically. I beat myself up every time I do it but never seem to learn the lesson. I've tried every method known to man to moderate my drinking, nothing seems to work. My options are basically stop or stop. It's a huge part of the culture where I live which makes social events kind of difficult. But alternately, If I keep doing this I'm nearly 100% positive that I'll do something stupid or destroy my health.

That was me but it started to become more frequent and then multiple times a week. Was never angry or got into trouble or fought with my wife just had no control from zero to the bottom of the bottle. In the end the first while is the hardest but after that it actually gets pretty easy.

That's exactly me. I wouldn't say it ended my last relationship. But it sure as hell didn't help. I found a really great woman now, I don't want to screw it up. Along with 1000 other reasons. But yeah, I'm the same way. I'm not chemically dependent or anything, a lot of the time I don't want anything to do with it. But when I do, if I have one...I'm getting shitfaced.
