Im new here…Ive known I had a problem with alcohol for a long time but thought I could tackle it on my own. Well after a couple of incidents that have sent me into a total depression spiral just from shame alone I have decided this is the only way. I have to stop drinking and work on being a better mom, wife, manager, employee etc…I can’t believe how much I have let myself and my husband down. He doesn’t trust me and why would he, Ive lied and I have lied a lot and hid the drinking. I start counseling tomorrow and I honestly cannot wait. I cannot wait to be a healthier version of me. This crappy version of me sucks. Thanks for listening. I think this app will really help me stay on task and shoot for a goal.
Don’t be scared! Be proud that you are moving forward and doing the right thing for yourself and your family. It will be hard work (I’m almost 5 days sober for the millionth time), but the trust from your husband will return after he sees your effort!!
Hi well done for deciding enough is enough I’m 10 days sober and was about to cave in on day 2 if it hadn’t have been for this app. Everyone is so supportive and understanding I don’t feel alone, I feel like I have a bunch of buddies with me the whole time. Good luck with the counseling
Good luck on your sober journey, it is scary but so worth the effort, I am 65 days sober and my mind is clearer and I feel healthier, hope your counselling goes well, keep sharing and people will help you, this is such a great resource!
