Hello everyone. I’m really struggling maintaining any sort of sobriety. It has affected my marriage. I’m trying to stay strong for my wife and kids. Just wanted to introduce myself, and get that out there. I would love to make new friends, and support networks. Have a goodnight, and be safe.

Hi Kevin, you can only do this for yourself while your family and the relationship you want to have with them are the motivation. Use the motivation to keep going in the good and bad times. Don't give up. Welcome!

I can definitely see that. I always struggle with doing it for other people, rather than myself. Thank you.

I'd take it that your relationship with your wife and your relationship with your kids are two of your values. What else do you value? Integrity? Service? Mental health? Physical health? Honesty? Compassion? Wealth?
The list goes on and it's your list of your values. Work about 5-7 values that you would consider your personal values. Next consider how alcohol has impacted your identity and relationship with each value. Do you notice a trend?

Thank you, I will work on that! Right now it’s a drug that I’m assisted to. But am an alcoholic as well. I will work on my values list
Alcohol can be replaced with any other substance or behavior - apologize for the mistake!
No need to apologize. Alcohol is a drug in my opinion, just like many other things
Welcome Kevin. Glad you are here.
