Thank you for your words. I am trying to go to an AA meeting. But tbh this forum here is incredible, so thankful to have met so many understanding people :frowning:

Hey @Catinthehat. Welcome and welcome back. There is no shame in a relapse if you can learn from it. Use all the tools you can find and you will get it. I was a drunk, and today I am not. Tomorrow I will also try not to be. I read quit lit and spend a lot of time on here reading about the experiences of others and for me that works. There will be meetings in my future but that hasnā€™t happened for me yet.

Iā€™m glad you are here. :heart:

Thank you so much for responding! I will try and really take each day as it comes. I have done it before and I remember the times where I realised I spent 3 weeks without even having a drink at night time on my own. It was the most incredible and freeing feeling!!

I totally get what y0ur sayingā€¦Iā€™m started drinking at 8amā€¦on the way to workā€¦life is hard. I have no support group no family and no friends. Its hard xx

Deffinetly keep getting more days.

I have had some AA in my life
I never completed the program though

I met some very kind and awesome people there who really know what theyā€™re talking about.
