Being Alcoholic Living with Alcoholism: Home

I am an Alcoholic. I want to share my Alcoholic story with you. I am hoping if you are an Alcoholic that you can find hope an inspiration to put the bottle down and change your life today. Yes, decide to change your life today. In the middle of one of my countless bouts with the bottle, I was trying to pull-up and stop drinking. Two or three weeks of drinking was enough, my life was slowly sinking into the depths of despair and I called my sponser to ask him - " How do I stop drinking?" His response to me was " One minute at a time, one minute at a time you don't drink." If you are desperately seeking advice as to how to stop the current Alcoholic binge that you are on right now, my advice to you is to stop drinking "One minute at a time, just one minute at a time."

I am sure my story is unique. Yet my story is the same as many Alcoholics. When I took my First Drink, that was it. I found that special feeling every alcoholic knows. I found my best friend, beer, tequila, gin, vodka, whiskey, you name it, if it got me drunk, I was all over it. I drank for one reason and that was to get drunk. Ask any Alcoholic about their first drinking episode and 99 out of 100 will tell you that they fell in love with "booze," and that they drank for one reason, to get as drunk as possible. That first drink was all it took and I was a hooked. Alcohol had its hooks in me but good. And there was no stopping the run-away train that was just starting to leave the station. Little did I know where that train was heading, and little did I know I was on that train. But more about that later .....

An Alcoholic's journey to their own personal bottoms are all different and still again have a common thread running though them. And like me, many Alcoholics have to bounce off that bottom a few times, several times, 20 times, 50 times, - I bounced off my personal bottom probably 100 times or more, (but that is just a guess ). My Alcoholic story, it's not pretty. And it is only a success, ( if you care to categorize it that way), because I am still here, alive, to write about it.
Before I even start to go down the road on the subject of Alcoholism, real Alcoholism, I need to stop.
