No more alcohol...

[quote]a false sense of mental security[/quote]
That sums it pretty well. I’m an alcoholic myself and I cling hard to the mental relief I get from being inebriated, but I’ve learned the coming down just isn’t worth the high. I do it anyway because I’m hooked now, but this post just reminds me of why I should stop. I’m sorry you’ve struggled with it too. I have moments when I’ll get so drunk, for so long, I’ll get tired of drinking too. Even though I always find myself coming back to it anyway. I hope you’re stronger than me and that doesn’t happen with you. 🫂

I was an addict for 11 years. Let me tell you even now its hard. Adapting to what seems like monotony in the ' straight life' is hard. But when any substance makes you depressed. And they will. Then its time to keep up the fight to stay away from anything dodgy like drink or drugs and especially the usual catalyst for those issues. Lifes traumas. Well in most cases anyway. I wish you well. Stay strong.

Best of luck. We are here for you!!! ❤️🫂

Very good miss i struggle(d) with alcohol too its been almost 2 years. I feel better and better. I had a brain tumor too. U might want to get some diagnostics done to see if something underlying might also have been inspiring u to drink.

You sound like someone who is self-aware. That will be a great asset as you move forward.

Congratulations on making this decision. I wish you well.

Immediate advice
Get moving exercise, hydrate and eat well

Look forward not back

Say it. Mean it. Do it. For your sake. That person seems toxic. Consider that.

You are a great, and very honest Lady. Never worry...you are loved! ❤️😊🙏🏻

It’s easy for it to take over and become a problem

Good for you for starting at day one. That takes a lot of courage.
