Roz,

You're a caring person - you have a lot that you should feel good about, but it's really hard to see that when we're drinking.

When I was drinking, I was so ashamed of what I was doing that I really hated myself, so I'd drink more to drown out the feelings. Repeat stupid viscious circle.

You deserve better than that. You deserve sobriety, even if it's hard sometimes, long term it makes life much better.

I'm stil kinda new at the whole sobriety thing myself, it'll be 6 months next Mon. But I'm amazed at how much my life has changed for the better since I quit drinking. I still have to deal with negative feelings but at least I'm not making them any worse.

Hang in there.
