Hi Fazbender,
 
Happy New Year and happy to have you join this forum!  You've made a great decision to maintain your health and, it sounds like the health of your relationship.  

What do you find you struggle with most?  What triggers your binge drinking?

Welcome Fazbender - I find this site and its tools to be a great help.   I hope you will too.   Deciding to change something that's no longer working for you, drinking, is a really big step in the right direction.

Welcome Fazbender.  I'm a binge drinker too, so I know exactly what you mean.  I'm at almost two weeks, and I feel great, but I know from past experience that if I drink at all it will quickly escalate out of control again.  It's great to have support.  Hang tight and keep posting.

I have known for quite some time, that my drinking is abnormal. My problem is binge drinking. I can go weeks without. Sometimes its months. So for that reason I won't actually know how well I'm doing. 

   One suspects that this time of year brings in many people who wish to stop. Me, now being one of them. 
I do not need to have God by my side. I find religion hard to swallow. Unlike beer. But for those who do have his help more power to you.

 If I were to be completely honest. Drinking which brings its own type of after pain, is followed very closely by a loved ones disapproval. Thats the sort of pain I no longer wish to have.

  So after a new years drink with friends which was all laughs to start with. To now a friendship that may well be no more.
 
      Well there we have it I'm pleased to have found this site. I hold out great hope.
