Think I'm ready to make the change

Thank you so much for the support it’s really amazing :heart:

Oh my god I could’ve written this! The blackouts are the WORST! That deep anxiety of just not knowing what the hell you did. Checking your phone (if you’ve not lost it) for messages of people telling you you’re an arsehole. Seeing you’ve called people at 3am with zero recollection of what you did. Not even knowing how you got home.

Oh and the blackouts at home too. You think you can just drink safely at home, then you wake up at 11am fully clothed on the bed not knowing what time you passed out. I look at other people and don’t understand how I go from sober to drunk with no in between. Nothing. Sober then shit faced.

God we put ourselves in some horrendous situations, it’s genuinely scary and I’m sometimes surprised I’ve actually got this far in life.

Kudos on taking this step, you’ll be great at this sober stuff I know it :victory_hand:

That pretty much sums it up! Definitely no in between, just not someone who can drink alcohol and not regret it, it’s a hard pill to swallow but I know I need to accept it and not for one second think I can go back.

Thank you for the kind words, I’m going to try and be great at it like you said :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Push through it, you can do it . @nicki123 You will be happier with yourself if you stay strong. You are halfway through the day. Get to bed sober tonight and wake up hangover free.
