Is someone like me welcome?

[KinDL]

It's like I can't make it thru the time after work without slamming 6 or 8 or 10 beers. OK, my job sucks, but I know thats no excuse.
But I'm pretty buzzed right now. And my drinking is interfering with my life. With what I really want to do. Like hike the Minnesota wilderness with my camera.
And be a good husband and dad.
But I'm so accustomed to the buzz. It feels good. It lets me wander away from the part of my life where I feel like such a failure. When I'm drunk it seems better days are just ahead. But they never show.
I am looking for help here. And it's taking a long time because I have to keep backspacing and fixing my typos.
Just one more thing to say: I am an alcoholic, and I believe I can recorver. And I am an atheist. I refuse to cower before any imaginary deity for pity. I don't want pity. I want to recover!
My name is Kevin. Nice to meet you.

Hi Kevin, :17: Yes, you are welcomed here. I am glad I was welcomed even when I had a drink in my hand. It took what it took for me to get sober and stay sober. Take a look around the board here and make yourself at home. Feel free to ask any questions you may have and to share. We are here for you.

Your Friend In Recovery,
Tammy

Hi Kevin :17: Glad you are here. We all have a right to recover from this deadly disease of addiction however we choose to do it. I know an athiest in our local NA group who has been clean off all drugs and alcohol for around 3 to 4 years. Hope you are thinking about going to an AA or NA meeting. Local support is very good as well as online support. I get a lot of help both ways.
