		<description>Found you website and was such a blessing. I have been in denial for over a year. I have all the elements of an alcholic, I am!! I never was a drinker at all just special times, a few years ago I started drinking more socially and I noticed in the past year it seemed like I was drinking more and more. I had felt like I needed a drink just to make it through the day. Before I had started really drinking I was going through a depression, which happened during the time , I had an abortion and was feeling very bad, my business was going through financial problems, I was feeling oberwelmed and under appreciated and I was getting Married!! I had felt like I was having a nervous breakdown so I started going out to happy hour with friends after work and started drinking more at home snd events. I knew at that time something was different about me because I seemed to get more drunk than others and started embarrasing myself , (I have always been a conservitive person so it was odd to me as well as my husband). I starting getting more depressed and crying and arguing all the time with my husband concerning drinking. Still in denial my life was beginning to spiral out of control, blackouts, intoxicated at my business, lack of passion, ect. I had a defining wake up call when my husband said to me, that the person I am drinking Is not who I am and I was a bright, smart women, beautiful women that either wants to choose beautiful life and future and live my dreams, or drink and be miserable while life passes me by. At that time he did not know that I had admitted to myself that I had a problem and I choose to have the most amazing life, and that drinking was no longer an option ever. I did not even want to be in the fog anymore, I wanted Sunny days. Life brings you curve balls and I am going to do everything in my power to make sure alchohol is the ball the never comes back my way.
Thank you,LH</description>

		<description>Hey Stan, 

I came across your video on youtube because I was looking for information on how to reduce anxiety but also on alcoholism. I just had a huge blowout with a friend of mine yesterday, I am not sure what happened there but he was so angry and drunk and I am not an angry drunk but this morning I woke to feelings of guilt and inadequacy but also to the fact that I had no idea why he was so angry. Now I know its not my fault he is an angry drunk, his poor girlfriend was crying, I remember that. But I can't help feeling that if I had been sober maybe I could have talked him into calming down, right?

A similar thing happened barely a few weeks ago, maybe one or two weeks ago, I went to visit my Dad and we had been drinking and somewhere in there my Dad got angry about something his friend had said or done and then blamed me for it. While trying to tell my Dad to calm down, my Dad got all mad and hit me. I called my brother to come get me and I cried in the taxi all the way to my brothers house. 

I don't drink daily, I don't have the shakes, I just think that my whole family likes to drink just a little too much. I have a wonderful son and an amazing partner who I know has been instrumental in me drinking way less than I ever did in the past. But I still have a hard time saying no to that next drink. Missing chunks of time are not uncommon when this happens. I have been known to homing pigeon it home, and its a phrase I coined to mean that I get home but I don't know how I got there. 

I am not as bad now as I was in my younger days, back then I would be losing a mobile phone a month or worse, waking with bruises or cuts from having fallen but not remembering having fallen. That still happens to me now from time to time. It frustrates me that AA is someplace for alcoholics and somehow an alcohol abuser like myself may not be considered as having a problem because I don't drink daily. I really want to quit drinking but its like I would be a social cripple within my family and in my mind if I give up. 

I need help, I need support, and most of all I need to know I am not alone here. I have tried to give up alcohol before and did just fine with it, but the scarier part is thinking of giving up alcohol for the rest of my life...it actually scares me to think of not having a drink ever again! But I also know I am not capable of having just one. I may not drink daily, but when I do drink, I drink to get drunk...and that can't be a good thing, right? My Dad drinks the same way, my sister too, my brother too...can you help me find the strength to be the one person to give it up for good and to know that this shouldn't scare me?

Thanks...

		<description>ithurts2much: 

I don’t recall the exact moment in time that I crossed the threshold between drinking to solely drown away the memories and becoming a full blown alcholic… I think maybe it was gradual, but I couldn’t see it.
Just 3 years ago I only drank socially 6-12 times a year, and never drank with the intentions of getting drunk; frankly I didn’t like how it made me feel and I was always aware and embaressed for the people around me who acted like ridiculous fools when they drank too much.
2.5 years ago my heart was broken and I didn’t know how to cope, so I started drinking to drown the pain away, but to be perfectly honest I think that although that’s what I wanted to believe I was doing - “drinking to forget” most days I punished myself by “drinking to remember”, and that’s how I got here.
I drink from the moment I get up and continue to drink periodically throughout the day and night, more or less depending on my work schedule.
I shake, I sweat, and I am physically sick every morning (hence the drinking upon waking). Isn’t it funny though that the same thing that is making me sooo sick is the same thing that makes me better???
I am in real danger here, not only of losing my life, but of losing my family and friends. I can be a very mean emotional drunk (depends on the day), but no matter what day it is I am not the same person the people closest to me remember and miss. I need help to figure out how to stop this sick cycle caraousel.
Please any advice or information would be helpful.

Sincerely,
It Hurts Too Much</description>
