I’m getting sober again. I hope it’s the last time. This is day three. I’ve stayed sober for several years on my own but I’ve never worked a program, never been honest with a therapist or doctor, and never had the support of family or friends. This time I’m looking for accountability.
I know that in order to stay sober I need to make huge changes in my life. I’m a lesbian married to a man (it’s a long story) and I’m deeply unhappy. He has never supported my attempts at sobriety. I’ve hidden my unhappiness with alcohol for too long. I have the support of a partner (not my spouse) this time, and I hope that will make the difference in helping me to push through and make the hard changes. I’m open to advice and would love to chat with other lesbian or bi women about challenges in recovery.
