I decided to get sober because I physically cant wake up hating myself anymore. I want to love myself and I want to love who I am. I will do whatever it takes with humility to become the woman im suppose to be. Has anyone else ever come to a point in your life where you just dont want to be the victim anymore and you realize you are your worst enemy? I am in my second 24hrs sober from drinking 3 talls a day consistently for the past 6 months.
I am a mother who cannot afford to throw my life away any longer.

You’re already on the right track to being the woman you’re supposed to be. Keep walking down this path, I promise it will only bring you back home to yourself with each passing day.
Ditch the poison and victim mentality. I’ve certainly been there myself and had to wake up to the fact that I was only a victim to myself.
You’re not alone.
I’m not sure where you’re at mentally, but for me the first month was the toughest, but so worth it so far.
I’m in my 3rd month now and I know it will only continue to get better.

This was exactly how I felt as well, you are not alone. Such a horrible, soul sucking feeling each morning…truly debilitating. I hated myself and wanted to die, I saw no other way out. Then I found this place. And now, you have too. Welcome!!
I am glad you are here. Those days can add up. And each day is a new beginning. I am a Mom, daughter, wife, friend and Grandmom. You can change your life and get healthy and you are worth it!!!

I feel the same, today will be third day sober for me. I hated myself every morning after drinking, and it was almost every single day. I do have kids as well, so, I want to be sober for them to be a mom they deserve, as well as I need to be sober for me, so I dont do any more harm to myself - to my mind and body. Figers crossed for You❤️

Yes, I did.
The good part of it was that this also made me realize I was the solution as well.
Only I could change my life for the better and I managed to do that with the help of this forum.
I wish you the same!
So a warm welcome to you!
Glad you have found us!

Welcome Shay!
As you c here are a lot of people feeling you 
Of course I had been there, so many times, so many damn mornings. Getting sober is the first step, it’s an act of self love. I think loving ourself is a second journey, that can be made by doing recovery work, staying disciplined, having routines, having sangha, maybe by spiritual way.
