Hey, I was scared shitless when I had to quit or see myself slowly commit suicide. Yes that’s what these addictions were, suicidal. If you want it bad enough, it’s doable, not easy but doable. Wishing you all the best, keeping the faith.
Blessings and sobriety!

Yeah I totally agree. Definetely dodged a bullet there didn’t I!!
Get shitty with me, no problem, I’m a big girl and will get over it but involve the kids and use them in petty backlash… not cool and not someone I want as a friend or employer that’s for sure!

Completed day 5 and my first sober 4th of July weekend. Feeling really good about that. I have to be mindful though. I went 3 weeks last time and had to reset. I really want this problem to go away for good. I feel so much better. Why would I ever go back to drinking? I wasn’t an every day heavy drinker but I was drinking a 1.75 liter bottle of scotch every week. Then I did one in 4 days and that’s when I knew I was on a slippery slope.

Checking in on day 25. Today is cool and rainy, which is a welcome break from the humid heat of the last days. I have an appointment with a psychiatrist in a few hours, so let’s see what can be done about this can of worms that is my brain.
Hope everyone is having a good day. @Mno sending positive thoughts to you and Luna. I hope she is feeling better soon.

I am sorry to hear about your wife’s diagnosis. My mom is a breast cancer survivor and had a partial mastectomy on one breast. She has lived an amazing cancer free life now for over 20 years. As scary as cancer is there are alot of success stories and many woman who beat this beast. Stay strong and congrats on your 5 days of sobriety. I could not think of a better time for you to be 100 % present for your wife then now. Congrats on your choice to get sober.
Sending prayers.

Checking in on Day 3. I started attending meetings and I’ve been fortunate to find ones where people are being really honest and vulnerable and real, and it’s really helpful and inspiring and makes me feel less alone. I have a temporary sponsor as of yesterday and my first phone call with her is tonight. I also have an appointment with an addiction medicine therapist this afternoon.
Someone in this morning’s meeting talked about “the elevator” and that people get off at different floors. Some have to go to rock bottom. I feel like I’m trying to get off one floor above that, before I really start losing things that I love and care about.
I had a long talk with my boyfriend last night about how much I scared him when I relapsed last Saturday. It was really hard. He is one of the things I could lose if I don’t stop drinking for good.
