Am having a huge battle kick starting my sobriety. I really feel irritated of myself after am using but I’d still go back to it. Deep down am strongly willing to end this chapter of misery in my life.

The first 72 hours are a big battle. Medical supervision is suggested for some people. One minute, one hour, one day at a time is how I stopped. If my ass who would drink at a minimum 16 beers every single day can quit, so can you! Show up, do the next right thing and put the work in. Good luck, we’re here to help.

I was just like you. For about 3 years I actively kept trying to quit with no success. Now I’m almost 6 months sober. What was different this time is I asked for help. I got a therapist, I was brutally honest with them (I always lied to Drs before). I started going to meetings. I got vivitrol injections each month. I had to completely swallow my pride and dig in. I feel so thankful to myself for doing this!
