I want it to be different this time

Hi all. I’ve been on here for a while with a few relapses and almost had 60 days until a few days ago. It was my birthday and I had some pressure to drink and gave in to be seen as ‘normal’. Binged for a week and had some scary symptoms when coming off, thought I might even end up in hospital.

I need this time to be different and am prepared to do what it takes. Still feeling a bit rough but have signed up for online therapy with my first session on Thursday. I can’t really get to AA meetings and was wondering if anyone had suggestions- any are welcome!

I’m hoping by doing that, being more active on here and doing whatever else I need to will mean I can live the life I know is actually possible for me.

Thanks for reading.

AA isn’t for everyone but there’s lots of other options. Here’s a link with others.

Honestly if I was you I would look around online for a local intensive out patient program. It helped me a lot and it also will get you in a healthy routine. There’s always zoom meetings as well for AA.
