I am a 40 year old family man. The alcohol came creeping up to me. In youth as a classic party drug. In the study often as a soul comforter. And later I have sought more and more compensation by alcohol and thought to have found. In recent years I became more and more aware of how dependent I am. In 2017 I had held out longer, but not consistently. Always with the thought: You can always drink a glass again. Now I know that this is no longer possible. I am now trying a life completely without alcohol. I’m just starting and I’m glad to have found the sober app and this forum.
