At first, it was just something to do once a week during quarantine. Then if he came 2 to 3 times a week. Now it’s every day. It’s the one thing I look forward to, and I hate to say it out loud.
Hi Jo, I remember those day. Drinking every now and then for different reasons. Increasing to the point that spent most of my time thinking about how I would be able to by liquor. To the point of stealing from loved ones. The 6 months before I quit I was drinking 2 1/5’s a day and didn’t consider it a problem until I ended up in the hospital. Realizing addiction is a negative thing in your life is where the journey to sobriety starts. Stay strong.
Hi Chris, thank you so much for sharing your experience and being so open. And you’re so right my therapist also said even you considering to get sober is a step in your recovery. I really appreciate you commenting on my post. I haven’t struggle with alcohol, but I’ve struggled with other substances such as weeed and pïlls. I just refuse to live like this so sobriety starts one day at a time thank you for commenting. It makes me feel less alone.
You’re are very welcome. I also think it is great that you talked to your therapist about it. And you are right l, it is a lot easier to stay sober for 24 hrs. Trying to stay sober for years is overwhelming. I will send you a friend request if you would like to chat sometime.
