So im new here, my name is Sam 29 years old. Im just about 24 hours since my last drink. I was on a really good streak for a while up until maybe February of this year had about 6 months under my belt, and for some reason I dont even remember anymore I started drinking again. I dont even drink every day but I personally have a binging issue. Once i start I really can't seem to stop. I simply cant do this anymore it makes my sleep terrible my mood terrible, and its starting to affect my health. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Find an AA meeting and go. Help is there.

Sam welcome back. You decided to pick up a drink. No one forced your hand to grab, hold and pour a drink into your mouth and then swallow it. My question to you is " How happy do you want to be?" I was so desperate to be free that I would try something new. So I and continuously
Go to meetings
Work the Steps
Be accountable to a Sponsor
Read the Book
Work with Others
Be of Service
Pray
Meditate
I saw people before me do this and I want what they have. Not only long term continuous sobriety, they are happy joyous and free.
If you are courageous to go to any length to get the design for living, and I hope you are, then you are ready to take the simple, not necessarily easy, Steps.
If you aren't all in, and have more pain and suffering to be had, someone will be at a meeting to great you if you decide to go.

Hi Sam, it never gets any better only much worse!!! You have much more legal,financial,health and personal heartbreak ahead of you if you continue drinking. I always thought I had more time to sober up and kept going back time after time with bad results. I hope you sober up at 29 and not 59 and spare yourself decades of misery!

Yeah agreed. I've had it with booze. I have plenty I need to do today to keep myself busy and away from alcohol. I just really need to find a better strategy for dealing with stress and my anxiety. Today I'm going to make time to meditate and exercise as well.
