Struggling Help

Drinking maybe once per week on average. Not excessively but sneaking some too. I’m struggling with wanting to be sober.

Not trying to scare you or push either way. But have you considered looking into treatment?

It looks like you have a good amount of option to start this sober journey. I do want to throw in the mix Alcoholic Anonymous as another avenue to look into.
I resonate with your experience with sneaking and the struggle. I tried several times over a 10 year run getting and staying sober. AA has taught me a new way of living. I had to go through some real self honesty, look at my past behaviors, share them with my sponsor, clean house by making amends to those a harmed, and help others who still suffer and want help. With this new way of living in sober 31 months and I have repaired a handful of relationships I thought were gone. A few of them I have harmed to the point they need more time to heal. But I’m willing to make that amends when they are ready. I’ve found my higher power through God and learning about what Jesus was teaching in the Bible. I’m no religious guru, but I’m open minded enough to listen this time. I ask questions and through prayer and meditation I somehow intuitively receive the knowledge I need to be helpful to others.
Ask questions and continue to share your journey. Lots of us can benefit from your journey.
Thank you for reaching out and taking the time to read this…
