Take it one day at a time pray hard go to a meetings work your steps be honest with yourself be open-minded and willing get a sponsor

I thought getting high or drunk during your time of need would help too but it’s temporary relief that you need to go back too, it just numbs the pain temporarily. Find Jesus Christ and he will heal you. I still struggle with addiction but believing in Jesus has helped me realize so much and quitting is on my mind 24/7 just let it go to Jesus he will heal you.

Hi, Isabel. You can quit! You're strong. 2023 was quite the year for me, too. I'm here if you need to talk.

That’s a lot for one person to carry. Losing your dad, everything your husband went through, the accident… anyone would feel worn down after all of that. Choosing to step away from alcohol says a lot about the direction you want your life to go. Just focus on getting through today. A lot of people here started the same way and found their footing one day at a time. Glad you shared this with the community. Here for you
