We all are,

Alcohol releases a demon inside that should never exist I say one of my hugest goals is to fix my family relationship, Yet I recall some of the things I said to my partner when intoxicated, and honestly if she never speaks to me again I understand

We all do stupid things when drunk :pensive:
But the good thing is we can change that by not drinking, so itā€™s curable!
Welcome here Peter! This app helped me a lot to become sober. I am here almost every day since my day 1 two years ago.
See you around! šŸ™‹

The fact that you can admit it is really good though. You can see the effect that your addiction has, not just on you, but on your loved ones.

Good news is, it doesnā€™t have to stay that way. You can be different, believe it!

Iā€™m on day three and say mean things that I donā€™t remember when I drink. Iā€™m going to write down detailed reasons I am stopping. I think that reminder of the awful feelings will help. Great tip!

Hi @Peter1. I am on here because I am getting sober and doing well. I am also on here because I was (notice ā€œwasā€) married to a man who intensity verbally abused me when drunk and he was drunk a lot. He blacked out basically every night so didnā€™t remember the situations. I wish to God I that had the similar benefit of NOT knowing yet I could not forget. His words and angry face destroyed my sense of self. I am officially divorced since October 2020 and he struggles to know why we couldnā€™t make it work. God bless you for recognizing this in you. This may sound harsh but you donā€™t have the right to alter another personā€™s mental state by the actions you take, drunk or sober. Scars go very deep and sorry only goes so far. The only real solution is kindness. Drunk and kind typically donā€™t live in the same house. I am so very proud of you, Peter, for taking this step. You are strong enough for change. I know that simply because you reached out and you WANT it. Human resilience is astounding, really. My very best to you and your family. Please know this was said out of compassion. :kissing_heart:
