I come from a long line of alcoholics and drug addicts. My mom is in the midst of drinking her self to death and her mother basically met the same demise, suffering a heart attack and alcoholic diabetes at the young age of 52.
I am an alcoholic. I am 25. My biggest fear is ending up like my mom, the once smartest kindest person in the world turned sour, lives on disability and blames EVERYONE else but herself.
That’s why I’m here. 53 hours sober. I know I don’t have much time but right now I feel as I need the most support.

Welcome! I come from a long line myself. There’s only one way to not follow their path and that’s to not drink. I don’t want to end up following them to the grave so here I am and hit 90 days sober today. You can change the pattern and do this! It’s not easy but you’ve got great reasons to be sober, lets all stick with it together!

Welcome. I too come from a long line of alcoholics. I decided to break the cycle for not only me but my daughter’s and granddaughter who deserve the best me I can be. That first weekend was tough. Make sure to keep busy, get plenty of rest and always ask for help when you need it. That’s how we stay sober. Together. Congrats on 53 hours, seeing the issue so young as well as reaching out for help.

I’m like a rouge wave addict. I came out of nowhere and drowned everything in my path. Regardless of where we come from what matters is what we want to do about it and what we are willing to do to get there. Work hard, work harder, then work hardest.
