Five months ago today I took a brave step to leave a verbally abusive and controlling partner. I drank because I was miserable and he too was a heavy drinker so I guess monkey see monkey do - removing the negativity from my life allowed me to embark on sobriety. Some days are really tough as I have little to no self confidence after 5 years of being told I’m nothing. But each day I’m getting stronger and I reach 60 days of sobriety tomoorw - my message to others who might be struggling is to try break away from the negative people in your life as they can be more controlling than any substance
