Hi,
I am new to this forum so I decided to share a little story to begin with.
I have been drinking pretty regularly for 2 years now. Never a really large amount, but I did have around two beers every single day. I first kept it to the weekends, then it went to all days except for days where I had an exam, and then all days. I started feeling nervous when I couldn’t drink and needed it to escape my anxieties and calm down. I used this app but never made over 10 days.
Now I moved to a new country since the summer. Alcohol is much more expensive here and only some stores sell it. That’s what made me decide to quit drinking again. I want to make a new start here and want to be a better version of my self. I am feeling more anxiety than before, especially in social and public situations, but I try to handle it and just excuse myself to go to the bathroom instead of picking up a drink. When I am alone it gets pretty tough but it helps a lot it is not possible to buy any alcohol after 20:00 here outside of bars.
Now I am on 2 months on this app and pretty happy with how I am doing. I feel confident I can keep on going longer and deal better with my anxieties.
Reading on this forum helps me a lot to gain courage to keep going on staying sober so thanks for that. I hope to stick around for longer this time.
