I’ve been drinking heavy for the last 25 years but I’ve just got out of hospital after drinking too much and taking too much medication. I was found on the floor unresponsive by my mother which has made it all even worse. I’m hoping to stop and abstain for good now as I just drink to oblivion.
Welcome to sober time, this is a great step to take towards recovery. I’m sorry you had such a traumatic experience recently. Are you seeking any kind of help like a group or sponsor?
This platform can be a great help to staying on track! I downloaded it over a month ago thinking “whatever I’ll just try it out, probably useless” and low and behold I’m a month sober now and reading every day!
Good for you for choosing to take action against your addiction, something to be proud of
Reach out anytime and take care!!
I’ve been offered help but I turned it down as tried it before and it didn’t help as just went for a drink straight after the sessions. It’s been a big wake up so hoping I can do it on my own.
I’m really not good at group classes and just ended up lying to get off the one on one course. I have offered counselling which I’m considering accepting though.
Welcome and go get them good days
100% agree with @Becsta I tried to get sober and failed time and time again because I thought I could think myself better and do it on my own.
It wasn’t until I had gotten to the point where I was “Prepared to do whatever it took” I am an introvert but I had to do uncomfortable things to get sober, unfortunately it’s doesn’t get handed to us on a platter.
