Hey there!..i am 28 and just decided to quit aswell…i think I always had a problem but as time goes on and family and friends grow up and my fuck ups became worst and my husband is ready to leave I decided to completely put down the bottle… It sucks…but there is happiness without substance… It just takes time to find all those natural activities, comforts and good habits to make you content…keep at it…and everytime you feel like you will relapse think of your worst mistake under the influence!!

I appreciate the reply. I find myself asking, ‘what is wrong with me?’ and always leads me down dark paths. What can I do differently is a great question to ask.

Reading your stories reminds me that I’m not alone in this. Have also talked more openly to my husband, sister and a few close friend who are all supportive. Dreading the next work function though… Not quite sure how to explain not having a beer in my hand to my colleagues who knows I love(d) my beers after work. They never saw me full on drunk (luckily) so they probably wont even believe me if I tell then I have a problem, but honestly I feel its none of their business. How do you deal with work people? 7 days and counting…

Congrats With 7 day @Gem123 i understand how you think about coworkers. You can choose to be open about it. I recently got a new job. So i have not have the chance. Because i work in a elderlyhome their last place before they walk into the other side. My co workers are not my social souroundings. .most of them are young too 17 and up. IT sure are older People working too . I love my work . If they ask me and invite me out for a drink or 2 i will choose then … but yeah anyway i choose sobrierty . And get my self a Coke
