New here and terrified

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 :grinning: 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 :wink: :purple_heart:

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! :slight_smile:
