Only you can decide to get sober. Wishing, hoping and looking for a magic wand to wave and make it go away doesn’t work. Get to a program… AA, SMART… something. We all needed help to quit. It’s there if you want it, but you have to put the work into recovery. It’s not easy, but it is worth it.

If you want to get sober you gotta take that first step. Wherever you feel like it or not. Isolation can be death for us. Sometimes we have to go against the grain to get where we want to be. Keep your head up

Just has to quit cold turkey regardless, I can quit anytime, it’s just the loneliness & trauma from family death & the cost of everything is what makes me want to drink , I’m average around 6 beers in the evening but I drink them super fast
