Struggling Help

I’m just feeling sad and that this seeking of mine to feel some sort of way via alcohol is not sustainable.

I’m embarrassed by all the times I’ve been drunk. And wanting more for
Myself.

Jen, you’re not alone. I’ve felt the same way during my addiction to alcohol.

Try not to beat yourself up. The fact that you woke up today is another day to restart the journey.

What type of support do you feel you need?

I’m really afraid to commit to not drinking because of how engrained it is in my social life and circles.

Hi Jen. How are you feeling today?

I was thinking about your response. When alcohol is engraved in your social circle and you’re trying not to drink l, It sounds like it’s heavily weighing on you heart.

I remember working in the higher education industry there were company parties, networking groups, there was always an event where alcohol was involved.

I turned the alcohol down because I knew I can’t drink casually. Once I start I can’t stop.

What are the pros and cons if you continue to drink?

I always felt the same way and then one day I realized that most my friends were sober and I was still heavily drinking and blacking out. I’m glad that I have friends that are sober, but I need to expand my sober network bc I was still drinking otherwise. Anyhow, stay strong and being afraid will make it more worthwhile

Jen, would it benefit you to have face-to-face support and online support?
