Finally hitting a rock bottom a couple of weeks ago, I’ve decided to try and remove alcohol from my life completely and move on. I’ve drank nearly daily for 10+ years and it’s finally getting old. I want a new life for me and my (four legged) boys. With a verbally abusive and condescending mother and no true friends, I’m hoping to connect with people to help me through this journey and that I can do the same for.
It may only be day 1, but at least I’m starting 
hi! i’m very proud of you, you’ve got this.
