Hey there, this is my first time ever writing a Reddit post. I am only 21 years old but have known I have some sort of addiction issue going on for a year or two now. I’ve always brushed it off and not worried about it, justified the couple beers every night, even a couple the night before big (college) exams. I have recently returned home from college, and spending time with my parents (who don’t drink) has brought me to the conclusion that I need to do something about this. After coming to this conclusion, I continued to drink at least a couple beers every night, and last night I came up with the terrible idea of going out to a bar for a beer. One beer turned into 10, and this was a Sunday night prior to having work this morning. I came here to Reddit for my first time ever just now, with the obvious fact in mind that I have a problem. Hearing you guys on here has already doubled my confidence in this task of cutting the addiction, I plan to continue to return to this page daily through my attempt to stop drinking.
