Hello all! I’m new here and I’ve been struggling with alcohol and am looking for people to connect with. It really is lonely sometimes as I have wanted to quit drinking for awhile now only to tell myself that another drink won’t hurt, when in fact it’s it’s killing me, I know. I can’t stop at just one and I’m tired of deal making with myself and others. I started drinking about 6 years ago when my parents passed away, I’m an only child and felt like I had no one to turn to as everyone in my family drinks. I’m just looking to reinvent myself with a little help from some friends on here who can relate.

I know how you feel not having anyone to turn to. I come from a very small immediate family. Everyone has their own life. When I got clean I realized I had no friends because I had lost all the good ones from always being high. The people I did know I had to push out of my life because I couldnt be around them. So you say you have no return to I understand.
Have you ever gone to meetings in your areas to share. Im sure you will find encouraging words from people in this group.

I’m around if you want to chat, I’m on here every day. When I quit this last time I joined this group and everyone has helped in different ways. My drug was killing me too. I had to do something different. You’re not alone.

I am new myself and totally understand what you are going through. It’s frustrating not breaking our cycles! I am on my 4th day with no alcohol and it is all I can think about. I tried to stop too and tried to cut down buying cans of wine thinking now I can’t have the whole bottle but I just bought more cans! You are not alone.

Hello K,
Welcome. Reaching out and asking for help takes courage. Recognize that, It’s important. It’s a quality that you’ll need along this journey. Go to meetings, get a sponsor, and work the steps. The shortest paragraph in the Big Book is probably one of the most powerful truths. “It works. It really does”

Hi K -hope you will find the support you need on here. Take it one day at a time, and maybe don’t look at it like you have to go a year…take a small goal first like a few days, then keep adding one more day. You do matter!
