Finding it hard to accept I have lost control again. Hard to accept I might need help. Hard to accept that deep down this is all on me. No where to turn. Time to change need support from people who understand I hope this is the right place

About Talking Sober

Hello, everyone! So, as you may have noticed, Talking Sober is a discussion forum about sobriety. That’s great, but what is it about? Why did I start it and what’s the point of it all? Talking Sober is all about sobriety. This is the place where you can talk about anything and everything related to your (or maybe someone you know’s) journey to sobriety. The idea is that you can openly and honestly discuss whatever you want to. I encourage anyone to come forward, tell your story and benefit fro…

Frustrating more than anything I am used to talking but I get lost with the jargon and who sees what. I don’t intend to be very active until I have my bearings

Ok so I guess a basic overview of “me” and advice is what I need. I have drank since I can remember 10/11 I think the first time I drank and my mum had to shower me and sit up all night while I vomited. It wasn’t just drinking I had a few troubles by 14 on anti depressants and rehab at 17 (although this was for drugs not alcohol) I picked up and moved to a different country after rehab because it became clear that it would be hard to stay. I beat my battle with drugs but perhaps I have used that to excuse my drinking. I was coping really well with work and even got married and had children. Again I had a few troubles and suddenly my drinking spiralled out of control again problem is im so good at hiding it even I can’t remember how much im drinking or how long it’s been since I was in control
