Hi, I am Dingfod. I am alcoholic
This is my 8th day of sobriety. I wouldn't say I was a hardcore drinker because I usually only drank a half pint and a six pack of 3.2% malt beverages or a pint of whiskey or rum, but I drank every day for the past four months or so. This was after going 3 weeks not drinking at all, and before that passing out in my driveway and ending up hospitalized for two days because of low sodium and potassium and blood glucose.
Enough already. My body and my finances are being harmed. Now that I'm not drinking I'm going to save a fortune, $600-$750 per month, if inland wave can stay off the rum punch. We're basically living on Social Security and a couple of small pensions, and our drinking was consuming about 40% of our income.

Re: Hi, I am Dingfod. I am alcoholic
As a mark of respect you're not getting the hideous green welcome ... although this one's not definitely much better.

I've already lost a ton of weight, down to 190 from 360. But that was due to gastric bypass surgery 2 years ago.
Edit: the weight loss and the surgery itself made me more susceptible to alcohol. That's why, even though I was not a heavy drinker, but a daily drinker of relatively small quantities, but still had the typical alcoholic profile. I just can't do it anymore.

Re: Hi, I am Dingfod. I am alcoholic
It's never a perfect thing, people are human and make mistakes, but you can get up and try again.
Welcome back dingfod. I know that weight/alcohol makes a huge diffrence in what you can stand. Being a cheap date isn't all that. But also alcohol is a depressant, so here's to better health and mood!
