I’ve been a daily beer drinker for years. It’s all great 50 times, then there’s another time when i get sideways, not sure what happens in my head but i take it to far. I say things to the people in my life that i love that are hurtful. I wake up embarrassed, feeling this pit in my heart. I decided I don’t want to be this person anymore. One bad night out of 50 is unexeceptable, So here I sit on day 3 sober. Figuring out life but i know its gonna be better with no alcohol.

Good for you Shawn. Waking up clear headed and no regrets is so huge for me. Keep up the good fight. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations 
on Day 3!
Yep the evil twin used to come out when I drank. Now that I am sober, I am making amends with my teenagers. I apologize constantly and remind them of the cons of substance abuse.
Is there a community mental health center near you that you can go to weekly alcohol classes? (Zoom or in person)
Start with forgiving yourself! Think of your main motivation to stay sober!
You’ve got this!
Everybody's bottom is different, congrats to you for taking the step towards sobriety
Incomprehensible demoralization
Proud of you for making the decision to quit. It’s going to be so much better. Please come back and let us know how you’re doing.
