Hi guys, well I suffer from BPD 
and I’ve always self medicated myself with alcohol 
since I was like 13. I’ve been up:+1: and down:-1: so many times. I’m turning 34 on the 7th of April and I’m fed up with this cycle. All I need to do is stay strong and break the nasty disease:pensive:. And I’m so glad I can share my updates and journey with people like me. Thank you for having me

@Melrm thank you bunches. I know this is going to be hard for me just as anyone else. But I do know in the long run I’m going to feel so much better about myself. For I’ve needed this change for a very long time. 
@Focului_Zeita you’ve survived 100% of your struggles so far…you can do this. Yes, it won’t be easy (but life in general isn’t anyways) but completely worth it. There’s tons of support out there so there’s no need to “white-knuckle” it and go it alone. We’ve all been there and remember it well, so feel free to ask questions, talk about your progress, or just vent.

Hard, yes…but being completely present for your birthday is awesome. I got sober 2 weeks before my birthday. I actually remembered it and it wasn’t centered around booze.

Hi @Focului_Zeita. Maybe you could use all the money you’re saving from not buying alcohol, and do something sober but amazing for your birthday!
