Hello All,
New to this forum and wanted to introduce myself. I've been a binge drinker off and on for the past few years. I go through periods of sobriety only to slip back. The worst period of my life was in 2006. I was drinking whiskey with my medication, by myself, blacking out, without even getting sick because my tolerance was so high. I hit an all-time low in August of that year, and gave up drinking for several months. I had the shakes, the sweats, the nausea, plus I was getting off of anti-depressant medication. I'm surprised I didn't end up dead. Since then, I occasionally binge drink, but I am back on anti-depressants, and I don't want to ruin my body or harm my relationship with Christ. I know that I need to rely on Him to get through life, sober, one day at a time. I'm sick of relapsing and starting over, but start over I must. I got drunk last Thursday, and had two beverages on Sunday (though I was not drunk.) I consider 9/22/08 a new beginning. I resisted alcohol today and I am proud, considering there was an abundance where I went today.
Looking forward to getting to know you all. :17: :282:
