Hello all, this my first time posting. Last night once again drank too much, stayed up too late & reset the app again. This morning called out of work, which I have done only two or three times for drinking. Not necessarily hung over, but more just fed up thinking I can be a normal drinker. I am not. I am a binge drinker. I don’t know the concept of just one or two drinks anymore. It seems for the last 10 or so years when I was feeling trapped in the rural bootheel of Missouri that my drinking got worse and worse. The death of my mom back in January of 2019 where it was revealed to me and my brother that she was hiding a terrible secret from us really broke me.
Since last September when I downloaded this app, I have been trying to fight back. I read the posts here. I be read “Alcohol Lied to Me”. Today I decided I needed to start talking, start participating. Get me back. So hi !

Successfully made it through my 4-day conference in San Diego with no issues. Annie Grace’s book “This Naked Mind” really helped me. Thanks to those who posted about it.
