I have a good idea of what you are going through, and admitting it is a big step. I come from a family of alcoholics, some worse than others, and some that died from it. Many years a i had a highway patrol sponsored class on addictions. He asked us how much we drank. I said about two liters of bourbon a week on average, but never missed work. He said I couldn't stop drinking, which aggravated me to know end. Couple of weeks later the deer hunting trip where booze flowed liberally and i decided not to drink to see if he was right. About six months later i remembered i hadn't had a drink, took one and didn't like it really. That was 30 years or more ago, and i have one drink generally, which is one ounce of bouron in coke on the fourth of july, and my dad's birthday. I was not programmed genetically for it to be an addiction. My cousins are a different story, as my uncles etc. I had a really good friend who died a couple of years ago, he fought this battle, and with the support of family he walked away from it. But he never stopped wanting a drink. it is a hard battle and all i am trying to say is those of us familar with it no how hard it is, and how hard public admission is. Via con dios.
Good job Travis. For a guy that needs it, there's no bigger benefit than getting sober. As long as you don't get "well", your life will keep getting better!
Biden's most truthful quote ever came during his first press conference, 03/25/21. Drum roll please...... "I don't know, to be clear." and THAT is one promise he's kept!!!
Good man, not only for admitting your faults, but seeing inside yourself enough to recognize what needed to change. Step 9 is probably the most difficult, following Step 1.
Welcome back!

You could just wait until you got old,..and two drinks makes you snooze off in the recliner then wake up 90 minutes later grumpy and with a headache. It gets pretty self limiting at that point.
My parents are alcoholics, grandparents were alcoholics, aunt is alcoholic, cousin is alcoholic...and people wonder why I don't drink. Word of advice...find friends that don't drink either. Makes life easier...
Well, IF this isn't his most elaborate con yet and IF it's sincere then I wish Trav good luck on his journey and hope all works out well. (Little suspicious, though.... )
Glad to see you're not a 'step-skipper', as well!
It ain't what you don't know that makes you an idiot...it's what you know for certain, that just ain't so...
Most people don't want to believe the truth~they want the truth to be what they believe.
