Getting sober

Started my sober tracker again yesterday because I feel like I’ve lost it all. I am a causal drinker who can handle those blisters and shots non stop but didn’t realize my boyfriend was becoming more and more dependent on drinking and drinking alone because I work two jobs and he was in between. Then he would black out and forget putting hands on me or pushing me or breaking things :frowning: Monday was the end of it all. I had finally had enough but in my heart I know that isn’t what or who he is it just isn’t it’s the booze. So now he has to move back home to the east coast to get help while I’m here on the west alone :frowning: I usually turn to booze when I’m feeling depressed or sad or lonely but this time I want to support him and myself booze takes everything from you. So here I am being being vulnerable asking for help.

You're not alone. I'm hear/here for you. I'm right up I-5 from you.

Don't give up stay strong. Always here if you need to talk.

You're not alone, I almost slipped yesterday. Put your focus on the good things. Your relationship sounds a lot like mine, but in reverse. I know it was the alcohol making me a different person. You're right, it takes everything from you. Stay strong.
