I thought I could control it this time but I was wrong

I'm an alcoholic and I need to finally admit it, before I reach a new rock bottom. The people I met at a treatment center told me that everytime they hit rock bottom, it was always worse than the last time. I still have time to get sober and clear minded before I overdo it again. It's like there's still a sane part of me left. I should stop while I still can. I've been down this road before and it just ain't worth it. I need to call those friends I made at the treatment center. I got like 30 people I can call, I still haven't called any, I wonder if any of them were honest when they told me to call them. I guess there's only one way to find out. I just hope they haven't relapsed as well.

You should be proud of the sound decision to get sober. It's never too late, even if you relapse. Drinking problems are addicting and habitual. So is abstaining from it, it can be habitual, especially when you replace drinking with something constructive/productive when you get triggered. When you succeed, I hope it can inspire my brother to do the same! 💪
