Lately I have been going through alot, my relationship has me so stressed out and I’m not sure how much longer I can stay with her, if I wasn’t in love id walk away. My colleagues or at least most of them are toxic and vile to me and offer no support, it’s poorly managed and they hardly give me any shifts. Last night I really wanted to buy some beers after work but luckily I managed to persevere through the night and the exhaustion helped me fall asleep. I’ll be glad when today is over and I’m off tomorrow. Sorry for the rant.

There is not one situation that alcohol cannot make worse, it never helps.

The good news is you made it through another rough time, and next time it will be easier and easier and eventually you won’t struggle at all anymore.
Why not going to meetings? That’s a great time to hit up a meeting dude

Hey Matt, ranting is oftentimes healthy, drinking never is. Things will work out exactly as they are supposed to & please don’t future trip. Rest well & feel better, friend!

You were close, but you didn’t! 
You slept and came here to talk it out and get support. That’s great action right there, friend 
that’s how you get through, and it does get easier.
Just remember: drinking seems like a good idea, but in reality it’s not. It will make you feel worse, make matters worse and you’ll only regret it and feel shit about yourself. Don’t go there. Keep up the sober journey, and feel good about your successes!

That sounds really tough. I’m so glad you did make a bad situation worse. You need a clear head and energy to decide what exactly you can do to change / deal with the issues in your life.

Life has a way of getting shitty sometimes bro. But you navigated like a pro!! Well done.
No one said sobriety made all things easier, but it definitely does make some things and it never makes anything worse.
Keep putting in the time, the work and the self care man. You will get stronger each and every single day that you wake up sober and your true self.
Build pride, put yourself first, and things can only improve. Trust me, I’m doing exactly that and the journey has gotten so much better the further I’ve gotten from my last fucking day 1…
Best bro.
