Hi! I’m back on here after successfully not drinking for over 6 months, then falling off into a pretty bad depression for about 2 years. My 35th birthday was Saturday, and I partied with friends, and when I woke up Sunday I just didn’t want this to be my life anymore. When I think of all the money, time, and happiness alcohol has taken from me, it’s really upsetting. Hoping to find some people in a similar boat to get through this. I live in Wisconsin, which has a crazy drinking culture. That makes this a little more complicated to socialize without being around alcohol.

Hugs on your days and desires to stop drinking again. I think the drinking culture is everywhere friend, question is can you control what others are doing?
Nope, only yourself and your attitude/actions. Drink a water or lemonade or something different. Being in bars/clubs or beerfest-picnics in our early days of getting sober are not the best place for us…
Happy belated birthday and welcome back to the happy kids forum!
