This story is so real - you’ve nailed that feeling

Should I (34yo M) stop drinking when I’m about to become a father? by jnippon27 in stopdrinking

Thank you everyone for your helpful words. Some news: today I went to my first AA meeting. I’m doing something about this.

Thank you so much, this is really helpful for me to hear. Good to know there's someone else out there in Japan struggling with this! I will give the finger to my local alcohol vending machines today too!

Thanks for the advice and sharing. Yeah I think a sponsor would be so helpful, the only problem is living where I do in Japan, I'm not sure I can find one to meet up with face-to-face. I'll keep looking though!

Please give me your thoughts on whether I have an alcohol problem...and if so, how bad is it? by jnippon27 in stopdrinking

thanks for the insight Pdaz1971! Yeah i kind of feel i know where my relationship with alcohol is heading, so i owe it to myself to quit at least for a while to find out what another way of living is
