My name is Dustin and I’m 27 years old. I have been an alcoholic for almost ten years. My father who I never knew because of his own alcoholism died early this year from liver failure. I’m not the best of writers but I think this will help me through this process. I have made countless mistakes while drinking and it has almost cost me my marriage. My wife and my own health are the biggest motivations for sobriety. I am tired of letting her down again and again. I am also tired of feeling terrible every morning I wake up. I am going to keep this promise to my wife and myself and stop this terrible addiction.

Welcome to sobriety!
You’ve already stepped over the biggest hurdle by admitting it’s something you don’t want to do anymore.
Wish i could say that the rest is cake by I’d be lying…it’s definitley a long hard road but you seem to be wanting to do it for the right reasons!
Alcohol can and will take from you more then it will ever give back and if not put in check sometimes we can lose the closest things to us.
Stay focused…stay strong…stay sober!

Welcome! Sandra here. I just joined 15 days ago. It feels good and like I am living for once in a long time when I wake up in the morning with no hangover. This post was awhile ago. How are things going for you?
