Because, the drinking helps me to control my racing. Or at least that is what I tell myself. I dunno know where to begin with all this nor do I know how it will all end. I just know, I do want to be sober and feel better.
charlajustin, hello
I'm Cap and I'm a grateful recovering alcoholic...

I also commend you for your honesty and willingness to change your life.
Jmo, but the fear and confusion are a normal reaction when you are altering your life style, and dealing with being BP.
You are showing courage and determination, charlajustin. It may not feel that way, but you are...

Please keep posting and let us know how you are doing.
We care.

Cap
