    So ive been a reader here for a while. I'm in my 30s . Weekend binger. Never drink during the week.....anyway I decided I wasnt going to drink for a month. Which I did then sat I ended up out and had a few sunday too.

    My problem is I dont feel the need to drink ..its when I actually do drink its the amount and I dont know when to stop. Im not sure what kind of advice im looking for ...but I guess I know how much better I am as a person when I dont drink....full of life and motivation....I do get the drink depression for days after which is awlful.

    I have a lot of hobbies and I do spend my spare time doing them but after a few weeks I feel a bit lonely and socially isolated. ...which then I use for an excuse to go and get drunk.

    I have good paying job and is stressful at times.which again is another little excuse for me to drink ..im not from the place I work but living here a year now and do find it hard to meet people without having a drink in hand.

    ....so some up id have decided I truly have to stop drinking as I cant control it when I do ...I will end up in seriously bad health or worse so I guess I just needed some where to vent as I dont have anyone I cant say all this to. I have just had enough of destroying the person I am I would like to hear anyone who is in a similar situation or any advise would be welcome.
