HC, thank you for sharing what's going on with you. glad you have been sober since saturday. each day of sobriety is moving another day away from a drink.
jme, but they told me to separate my living problems from my drinking problems.
we can try to "escape" from our life using booze but the reality of it is when we "come to" we're still with the same problems and perhaps a few more. worse yet our drinking problem is still there waiting to call on us again. viscious cycle of despair.
hope this helps. hang in there one minute at a time if need be...you can do this if you want to get that "ball and chain from around your tired neck" and "the monkey off your back".
stay in touch with us cause we are happy to support your efforts to stay sober.
it's paying it forward. there's power in numbers....
