I came across this app in hopes that I might get the right help or motivation that I need in my life right now. Long story short but when I drink I tend to hurt those I love. I drunk text awful things that shouldn’t be said and I’ve been doing this for way too long. I hate myself more than anything. I’m gonna try really hard and stop drinking all together but it’s gonna be hard in the industry I work in.

Im going to put my oar on and hazard a guesa that you work in hospitality? Am I right? 
Ha yes I do. Well, the service industry! I technically don’t work at the bar but I do social media for a certain bar. I have easy access when it comes to drinking; however, I’ve gotten away with a lot of things but this time around I plan to stay the course. I don’t want to hurt anyone anymore, most importantly, myself.
I actually chatted with my HR Director a couple weeks back saying that I was very interested in doing that but I’m currently back on track with my perfect distraction, working out. I feel 100x times better when I workout, run, lift weights, and stick to my diet. It’s really keeping me together but I’ll look into those meetings!
