I was not sober for years. :pensive: Thinks get worse and worse. I guess the first thing is to accept that I have a problem with alcohol consuming. My mind keeps telling me look how people enjoy their drinks. And i keep reminding myself ok good for them but i cant enjoy i ruin everything when i drink. The first step is to accept the problem and the hardest part is to decide.

To all the people here you make me feel I am not alone. Because in this journey having friends is literally everything. Talking about the same shits we have gone through that just reminds me again that we are all human and we have some problems of addiction. We are trying here. Thats a thing. We fail but we get up. The pandemic was very bad. I was constantly drinking. My grandma died because of covid. My 14 years long relationship ended. Actually he left me for another one. Ok thats his decision. He was also an alcoholic. Lucky to lose him. My other grandma died because of Alzheimer’s. And finally my dear dog died at the age of 17. I was drinking a lot. Having sex not remembering. Waking up with shame and regret. And by time the alcohol i consume increased. And I said STOP girl. Now I am here again. You make me feel safe my friends. Hope you stay safe, too.

Thank you. Trying to stay sober with mental issues is really hard. For a minute or maybe for five minutes my mind tells me “hey what are you doing? What is this sobriety thing? Go girl drink… That won’t ruin the world.” But I know it will ruin me again. I will hate myself again. I don’t want this thing in my life anymore.
