So glad your here. It is not an easy road but we are all here for each other. I love that your doing 90 in 90. I would not be sober today if I didn’t go to AA. Another thing that really helped with the cravings was medicine my dr prescribed to me. It was hard to tell my dr and family i was quiting but not as hard as the constant apologies and guilt after a night of drinking. Keep reading and posting.

Hi ur story is similiar to mine. I have 3 kids and am their sole support. Im also a returning college student. Many many years ago i started to drink to let go of the stress and tension i was building up from my situation. The years passed and my drinking never stopped. I found this site at a moment just like your feeling now. The ladies recomend a book called the naked mind. They not only suggested i buy it but were very firm. Go buy it now, it on amazon u can get in 2 days from now and read it. U can also buy a digital copy. Buy it and read it! It not a usual book about how alcohol hurts its a book that explore how alcholo is social constructed, it explores many aspects of mimd frame to how alcohol is every where. It will give you a new view on your own addiction. Which for me has been a great tool. Im now 24 days sober and thank this site, and the people here. You can do it, you have already gained the want to stop. Good luck

Though I can’t be your sponsor, I can definitely be a soul sister- I’m a single mom, 2 kids, and I have a good career so we have some things in common. Feel free to message me anytime! I’ve been going through sobriety for reals this time since august, so I know the struggle of early sobriety when you are the only decent person in your kids lives. It is hard, but it gets easier.
