Recently my wife told me I had to get sober or she was leaving which I fully understand and this isn’t the first time I’ve got crazy with it. I’ll start off drinking while gaming and before I know I finish a whole bottle of tequila. I’m not sure why I can’t just have a drink and be done, but as of July 12th my journey to stop drinking completely has started.

Good start but I’ll be brutally honest if your doing it for anyone but yourself it won’t last that’s from personal experience my wife wanted me to quit for so long well not only me wife but everyone who cares about me but it wasn’t until I wanted to do it that it actually stuck and I’m sorry but if your wife can’t support you at your worst does she deserve to enjoy you at your best

That’s great that’s usually why we make the decision and I honestly hope I’m wrong about what I said about your wife I don’t know your situation but know from my personal experience alot of ppl only wanted me to get clean cos they didn’t want to be on my life when I was at my worst I’ve had to cut so many ppl of because as I said if they don’t want to be around you at your worst they don’t deserve to enjoy you at your best

Because we drank away our brakes
Normal people still have them, but we haven’t anymore. That’s why we can’t have “just one”
Welcome here! And congratulations with the decision for a better life!
You deserve one!
