I’m grateful that I now can see just how much I was controlled by alcohol. My every move revolved around getting back to the bottle almost everyday. Smh. And how much of a complete asshole I become. I’m not going out like that. Overcame to much to let alcohol take me out.

I can relate. I picked up after 13 years..it became daily immediately. Drinking by myself in a new home in a new state after my immediate family of 5 passed away. I was solely focused on the act of purchasing of alcohol and like a real alcoholic hiding it to bring into my home. (Non-Alcs don’t do that.) It took 6 mos. to get to today, my 27th day of renewed recovery.

Wow. Congrats! I’m happy you’re actively choosing life and not the death in the bottle. I’m sorry for your loss.
I couldn’t even imagine. Your strength is amazing. Thank you for sharing you just inspired me more. Feels good when ppl can relate and understand you. Let’s keep fighting for our lives.

Ditto, Rico-to you and Kathy ( and every single person who may need to read your words and this thread )-keep going and fighting this good fight!
Be proud of yourselves.
My heart goes out to you, Kathy.
Life can be cruel and unbearable.
May you find peace, somehow.
As we know, that peace will never be found by consuming alcohol.
