Hi, I’m finally ready to admit I have a serious problem. I think I finally hit my limit with alcohol this past Sunday. I blacked out and verbally lashed out at the person who means the most to me. I’ve never felt so low as I do now. So many things she doesn’t know, she has no idea how much I drink. Initially I felt like I needed to drink to be social, but now I feel like it’s something I need to function. I know if I don’t make a change I’m going to lose her. How does someone start a journey like this? Any recommendations would help.

Thank you. Needed to hear that
Your welcome u can do it . It hard but u are stronger and better
I just started an outpatient program for my problem, it’s great so far. Recommend for you to look into one in your area as having a support system is so crucial. Wishing you the best!
I did outpatient too. It’s a good idea.
You just started the journey. Now sit down and tell her everything. After the air clears go get serious help. If you blacked out you may need to detox. A doctors help is advised. You need help. Look into rehab definitely out patient. Then AA or NA and here. They will all help. It is doable and you can do it. Reach out anytime. Best of luck

How are you doing today? Did you stay sober yesterday?
It would probably feel great if you could tell her your problem. She could be very supportive. If they are not and you decide to get sober, sometimes those relationships fall. Better to know!
Stay with it Alyssa and find support with friends, family, this app, meetings, whatever you need to keep going
Keep putting the “WINS” in the win colum “one Day at a Time”
