You’ve come to the right place! No one chooses recovery when they are on a winning streak. We all start at day 0. Sounds as if you have gotten to that place where the alcohol and other substances are no longer working for you. No matter how much you drink, you can’t run from the pain. The solution is to stop running from the pain, and learning to walk thru it without medicating yourself. Most of us do this one day at a time. I hope you can join us.

I have the same problem too … I have relapsed longer than I have been sober … we need to stop we are addicted to 2 substances .. I find the Xanax calms me down more than the drinking … I need to cut out the alcohol

Mia, your in the right place. You don’t have to drink and drug today. There is a solution. Contact your local A.A. or NA central office. Then get to a meeting.
