Thanks for the post Rob. I'm at that crossroad right now and your letter is an inspiration.

I am unquestionably a binge alcoholic. I drink 8 to 12 beers in a night 2 to 3 times a week. I too, like you used to, find myself scheduling things around my "hangover days" and have no doubt my productivity would multiply, allowing me to do what I always wanted to do - work for myself.

I'll take your words of wisdom and hope that I can "jump on the wagon" and stay there.

If I do finally make the leap, I'll ping you.

There is no need to try to "jump on the wagon". Just contact your local AA (I know - that means someone else will know about your drinking) and the "wagon" will come an pick you up. Or, at least it will stop and you can climb on board. Best move I ever made.

Been there, done that. Beer was my drink of choice....In fact for the last 8 years of my "drinking career" beer was the only alcohol I consumed.

There's plenty of "hands up" here....if you want them.

FRegards,
