It's a new day

1

I’ve been up and down for so many years now. I once went over 30 days without a drink. It felt sooooo good. Don’t know why I ever went back.
Now I can go 2 days tops… Then I totally binge. Last night was the last. I need to save myself. I just sometimes feel so alone.

Your not alone here alot of us had a tough time breaking the constant cycle of drinking. I drank everyday for so many years always drinking to get drunk then pass out never really to relax and get a good night sleep what a vicious cycle. Glad that you found us, reach out if your struggling or just have a good read around.

Thank you so much. I really have had no support even though I have been completely open with some family. I have been totally honest about how bad it really is, and how bad alcohol makes me feel and I have been told that if I think it’s a problem it will be. Well … I’ve tried telling myself that I don’t have issues with alcohol but that clearly does not work. I really cannot just have one drink. I’m so glad that I found this app and I appreciate your reply so much.

Welcome @Miranda you are definitely not alone. Keep talking here and it makes such a difference. I am quite new and everyone is so friendly. I really don’t know if I would have been able to stick at it without checking in daily and reading as much as I could.

That’s fundamental. Even though I don’t post every day, I’ve been on here every day in the past 5-6 months. I hope you find your way, it’s so much worth it. You did it before, as you mentioned. Sending strength to you! :muscle:t2:

It feels good to know you’re not alone, doesn’t it? :kissing_heart: I’m so glad you’re here. It helped me tremendously to read the posts and shares of others here. There’s a daily check-in thread and my favorite, the gratitude thread. I’m gonna leave you a couple of links to get you started. Welcome to the community! :blush::purple_heart:
