Hi all! My name is Dani. Iv currently made the decision to get sober. Iv been struggling with alcohol since I was 16. I am now turning 25. Iv gotten better over the years but I never seemed to stop doing things that would make me disappointed and embarrassed. I have extreme anxiety, alcohol only making it worse over the years.
I decided to get sober 2 weeks ago. For real this time.
I wanted to reachout to all my twenty something’s trying to get sober. How has it been for you? I feel so alone in my struggle. Because we are told we are suppose to party during our twenties.
I’m lucky to have a supportive girlfriend, and my hula hooping to keep me sane.
But the holidays are so hard. And I want to make it thru them clean.

Twenties is the perfect time to stop drinking! I’m 28 and haven’t been drinking that long. 7-8 months. 9 days alcohol free, I decided to give it up for good because it didn’t take me long to fall down a dangerous path… actually I flew down 
But I’m over it and ready to heal and move forward. I’m happy for you! Stay strong!

Can I post even though I’m not in my 20s? Having already been through them, I feel like I can especially like yourself I started drinking at 16. However unlike you, I wasnt wise enough to stop in my 20s. Believe me, it gets a lot harder the longer you put it off. Do it now while your body is still young. The hangovers and anxiety become crippling as you pass your 30s.
Since we all started drinking young, it goes to reason we stop while we are relatively still so.

The down fall is quick. Iv been thru this so many times with myself. Lost many a job and friends due to alcohol.
But I’m losing friends now as well because I cant “party”. Oh well. Win some lose some right?
I’m glad your sober! I’m happy that we are making this change

Of course your allowed! Iv just been feeling alone in this. Everyone I know is talking about holiday drinks and going out to the bar. And I’m not ready. It’s still too new for me.
If you don’t mind me asking, how old are you? And how long have you been sober??

So take it from me, don’t waste as much as time I did. Live your authentic life, be in control! Don’t let addiction control you!
