Here I Go . . .

I just couldn't stand it anymore.  I had to make this blog for my own serenity.  I have to have someone to talk to; to get things off my chest and AA meetings are great, but I tend to want to talk and talk and talk.  It's just not fair to anyone else.

Let me introduce myself; I am Kimberly and I am an alcoholic.  I started drinking in my early 20's.  It was no big thing.  Just a few beers while playing pool and singing karaoke on the weekends.

Then my first husband left and I was alone for the first time in my life.  I went from Mom and Dad, to a husband and child, to nothing.

For the years to come I was still just a social drinker.  Then I started dating a guy.  We dated for almost a year, but we never really went out anywhere but the bar.  It was close and we hung out with other people our age.  Every, single Friday and Saturday night, down at the bar.  I probably drank more in that time period then I had ever before in my life.

. . . to be continued.
