I’ve been fighting this on and off for the few years. I’m fine during the day, once I get home “it starts”. The craving, the rationalizing. This week I’ve been struggling more. I woke up this morning and said, this is it!! I can’t do this anymore!
As a teenager, I didn’t drink excessively, as a mother of 3 I didn’t drink. I was always extremely cautious. I grew up with an alcoholic father. I didn’t want to. I don’t know what happened.
I’m happy I’m here!!

I am new to this forum as well and I am thankful for the love and support that everyone here offers. This process is one day at a time. We are in this together. Good luck and take care❤️

Welcome Diana. We’re all here to help each other. You did the right thing by reaching out for some advice. I’ve had to change my entire evening routine just to get out of my own head. Instead of coming home from work and picking up that drink and drug, I now take a walk, come on here to read or jump on an AA meeting. Find something you like to do or maybe take up a new hobby.
