Hi, today is my first day, my start to a new life. It is a holiday today in Germany. Tomorrow i make a call at the local addiction hotline and i hope i have a meeting soon.
My awakening wasn’t possible until my girlfriend wrote a letter explaining what is wrong with her and why i am the fault and the cause of her problems. To be clear i am so close to loose my girlfriend and my first born child, my little daughter. My remembrance of the past years are not bad, because the alcohol already caused me to forget what is happening. Last night i had the ability to talk and listen to my gf and it made me realise how miserable her life was because of my addiction, because of me!

You’ve identified the problem, that’s a positive first step. I try to prioritise whats of importance to me, my partner and kids are way higher on the list than alcohol, unfortunately we don’t always see these things as clearly as we should. Stick to the plan and make that phone call. Wishing you well on your journey.

Good luck getting to a meeting, taking the first step is always the hardest but the most worth it
