Am I an alcoholic? 20 years of drinking...is it time to admit?

Lisa…I LOVE audio!!! Listen constantly…mostly fiction. But right now I’m listening to Killers of the Flower Moon. Sadly, not fiction. I digress. I will check out “Everything AA”. See?? I don’t check in as often as I used to. But when I do I never go away empty handed!

Your journey is aspiring. I hope to be able to find my way to sobriety. After over decade of drinking. And multiple times of hearing myself say today is day one, only to be drinking by the afternoon or giving up on day 4. I really want this for myself. Starting my day 2 and my only goal is not to drink to today. It helps to read your journal and others. Keep going on your journey.

Congrats on getting your head to your pillow sober yesterday. All we have is one day at a time. Its really fricken tough the first week. Just wake up and with conviction say i will not drink today. So glad you could get some inspo from my thread. This community is amazing. Find your support asap. I found my support here and in the rooms of aa.

What a wonderful, sober belly button birthday. I spent the holiday living life to the fullest.

Ran my best 5k race yet.
Officially joined the run club
Spent time with my dog son
Went to a new to me recreation area…not to future me…its too hilly
New shoes
Got dolled up for a fancy dinner with hubby and my folks
Nice walk with hubby and Boscoe into the sunset
Today was a really good day
No day is guaranteed. Live it and live it sober

@Cjp - just a light-hearted note: I am totally an alcoholic and have a desire to never drink again… Or do I? I mean, once I am 95, in a retirement home and diagnosed with whatever terminal illness is going to kick my bucket, I am totally going back to drinking! :joy:
