I have an alcohol addiction. When i drink, it is to black out and for some reason i ruin friendships and start conflict with family. When i am with others, i can drink slow but i always itch for more. When i drink alone i drink so hard that i vomit nearly every morning foam. I sometimes change days i work because of a hangover. These days influence me to not drink, but i cannot beat the 3 day mark. I need to change and well I say every morning I will change but around 4pm my brain convinces me to just have one which it never is one.
I was the same way… Started early in the morning though. Drank till I passed out or blacked out. Hurt my family. Even hurt my kids. Broken promises. But I am 36 days sober. And I hope you don’t mind me saying that are doing amazing. All you can do is one second at a time. Set small goals for yourself. And don’t forget why you are choosing to be sober… For whatever reason or whomever you are doing this for… Do it for you. You got this. This place helps. These people help. I’ve found them to be kind and uplifting.
Thank you for the motivation. Never thought i would be in the spot i am now. I will likely be on this app daily getting guidance from others like yourself
I know what you mean. Very nice to meet you. Ill be in and out too… Im sure ill “see” you around.
