Yes I have struggled with alcohol. I was just recently diagnosed with bi polar. I've been drinking for a while. Last year I tried to go sober and I lasted for 3 months and couldn't take it anymore. I just recently decided to go sober again last month. So far it's a month and a half. I bring seltzer everywhere especially when alcohol is around and I drink them. It's hard. There are times I want to drink and I run to my selzter. I might not last but then again I might last a while. I was just talking to my therapist about addiction. And her advice was to take it a day at a time. I hope this helps! Good luck!
