Hello. I'm new to this site so bare with me. I'm an alcoholic. I'm 39 years old and I've been drinking since before I can remember. My issue is the same as yours. Once I start drinking, I can't stop and I end up drinking too much. I too have immense pain and guilt associated with this disease. I have two beautiful children that want me to stop drinking. I can't. Just as a suggestion, if I were you I would try to stay away from things and places that trigger you to start drinking. It's very dificult for me to do but I'm trying.

Hi there, I know how hard is especially if you are surrounded with people who are outgoing and much of the time go and have a drink and fun etc, Thank you for answering back and being honest. Sometimes it is hard to talk with other because they don't understand you. If I go with this talk to my friends they will say I am crazy and there is nothing wrong, that I am young and I am enjoying myself. Though, end of the day there is a problem if I am not able to stop myself. I will do my best to avoid the places and things that trigger me and I hope you will find the way too. I am always here if you want to talk because I know how it feels so maybe it will be easy to talk. Thank you again for answering back.
