Time to introduce myself

Your Story

Hi people!

I got this app in the beginning of this month and I have read some of your threads without really letting you know I’m here too. So I think it’s time to introduce myself since your posts has been really helpful during my days of being sober :slight_smile: thank you for that!
My addiction is alcohol and it started in my early twenties. I told myself I needed it so I could sleep). I was the girl who people called to get into clubs and it became my life. Everything was about going out all night and being hangover at work. I managed it a few years until I hit the wall and the doctors said I needed to be on sick leave and also sober. I was then sober for 2 years but later on started to drink again. My latest boyfriend who I broke up with had porn-and drug addiction which didn’t made it better for my own sake so I began to drink nearly everyday during our relationship. I finally left him 4 months ago and now I’m beginning this sober adventure once again (now on sober day nr 26).

Just wanted to introduce myself and let you all know that you, even though you haven’t been aware of it, have been a huge inspiration for me :slight_smile: thank you again!

Hugs,
C

Hello @IamC
Thanks for sharing part of your story :slightly_smiling_face:
I was so intimidated to share at first, but I agree, I got a lot of inspiration from knowing that I belong. The stories that people share here make me see how much I indeed was struggling with alcohol, and also is teaching me more understanding of addictions that I do not have or have had in the past. Good for you for breaking your cycle. I wish you all the best on your journey and look forward to hearing more from you :v:t3:
