5 days sober and I am struggling. Through tears I asked my husband for his support this morning. He asked me to go to the bar with him after dinner. I said no. He asked 4 more times even after I started crying and asked to be taken home. Where do I turn

It means that anyone contributing to your sickness by actually asking you to drink IS NOT HELPING YOU! Normies have no clue what you are going through.  has anyone told you that you have or might have a disease… I got it and didn’t even know it.

Lori, I can only speak for my experience. I have a little over 6 years sober thank God! But I'd say go to a meeting somewhere and take your sobriety one minute at a time! Great work on the 5 days!

I know it's hard to believe now but it gets way easier over time! And it's hard for people around you because if you're admitting you might have a problem drinking that's calling them out on it I remember misery loves company

I’m sorry I feel passionate about this. I’ve been to rehab five times. I’ve spent over a year and a half of my life locked up so I wouldn’t kill myself with booze and crack. My ex-wife continued to order cases of wine to the house on a weekly basis. Then she would drink in front of me. I finally took the advice of a long line of therapists and DIVORCED that twisted bitch. In the end I surrounded myself and sought out people that love me.

Hey Lori, great job on those 5 days!! If you can’t find support at home, you’ll have to find lots of meetings. Maybe an old school 90 in 90 would do you good and let your loved ones know how serious you are.

While Matt P doesn’t have much in the form of bedside manner, he’s right in that choosing sobriety unavoidably changes the people you spend time with, the places you go, and the things you do.

Just like drinking did as your disease progressed.

I'm candid as hell. Take it for what it is. Your sobriety comes first at this stage in the game doll.

Went to a meeting this morning. The sad realization I had that I will be losing my friends . My family will thank me and that is what counts the most.
