My drinking is so damaging. It’s affecting my relationship with my 3 daughters. I was sober for 16 months during the pandemic. I’m not a daily drinker, I’m a binge drinker and I hate it. I grew up with an alcoholic brother. It destroyed my childhood. I want to be successful in this journey and I’m happy to be here. I’m not in AA. I tried a few meetings at different places and times. I was not comfortable and seemed to make me think about drinking more. Any suggestions on further support would be appreciated.

Welcome here. Do you mind me asking what you didn’t like about AA? I had some negative experiences as well. But then someone told me maybe you’re going to the wrong meetings. No matter what I am here to support you anyway I can!.

Welcome to the group! I am also a binge drinker and ironically I’ve had the same experience with AA. I always left more depressed and wanted to drink upon leaving, and did numerous times. That was probably 20 yrs ago…It just wasn’t for me and I just can’t explain it to those that find it extremely helpful. And it’s not something I’ll try again. However, coming to this app daily, posting, reading and commenting has helped me in the past. I currently only have 3 sober days, but was sober almost 5 months last year and trying desperately to get back there again.
I hope you benefit from this app and there are tons of resources here. There’s a search bar to search topics. Hugs!!!
