@mssginbottle @RecoveryManAA @JAMESGREY72 @Andy_15052012 Thank you- long road ahead. Starting again is hard!

[Bill S. @soberbill34]

@RecoveryManAA @JAMESGREY72 @Andy_15052012 @mssginbottle Thanks all - love the encouragement here.

[Bill S. @soberbill34]

Turns out I am alcoholic after all. My experiment in controlled drinking has proven that. Time to make some positive changes.

[Bill S. @soberbill34]

@JAMESGREY72 Thanks man- appreciate it! Starting over won't be fun but at least I learned more about myself and my limits.

[Bill S. @soberbill34]

@JAMESGREY72 Doing ok. Seems as though my experiment in responsible drinking is not working out. Today- back to sobriety I go.

[Bill S. @soberbill34]

@JAMESGREY72 Haven't talked with you in a long time. How are you?

[Bill S. @soberbill34]

Long time no post- anyone alive out there?

[Bill S. @soberbill34]

@JAMESGREY72 hoping to train myself to drink like an adult. If I cant than Ill know for sure if I belong in AA or not.

[Bill S. @soberbill34]

@JAMESGREY72 im using moderation management. Had 3 beers last night and dindt feel the need to get wasted. Felt pretty good.

[Bill S. @soberbill34]

@JAMESGREY72 Hi James. Im doing really well, how about you? Drinking has not been a problem at all this week.

[Bill S. @soberbill34]

@CathieCats Im drunk. Im travelling on business so I thought nobody would know but I know and Im guilty.

[Bill S. @soberbill34]

@CathieCats I hope you are right. I just want to drink like a normal person. Ive been away from AA for 10 days and already im a wreck.

[Bill S. @soberbill34]

I jave 2000 songs on my MP3. Maybe 100 are faith based. Tonight on random all of them played. God? I think so.

[Bill S. @soberbill34]

You all need to know the truth. I started drinking again last weekend. I feel like Ive failed you all and God.

[Bill S. @soberbill34]

God is in control. No matter what you think he is here. Dont trust me on that, trust him. He speaks to us as he sees fit.

[Bill S. @soberbill34]

@jonathanbramley Im not saying Im not an alcoholic, Im saying that I just dont know what I am. If moderation is achievable id like to try.

[Bill S. @soberbill34]

@jonathanbramley Ive been rrading a lot about the difference between habit drinking and alcoholism and there are real differences.

[Bill S. @soberbill34]

@jonathanbramley Possibley but I dont think AA is a one size fits all. By AA's standards any college kid that binge drinks is an alcoholic.

[Bill S. @soberbill34]

@jonathanbramley But what if you arent really sure you are alcoholic? What if you just had bad habits that can be corrected?
