I’ve been trying to stop drinking for awhile now. I’ll do ok for a brief time then I slip. I’ve tried AA meetings….they just make it worse. I’ll drink and then I hate myself for it.
I’m a trans woman who started hormones on Valentine’s Day…..so I’m about 3 months in. My family is very unaccepting and people at work say they are accepting and supportive but I feel they are trying to run me off because they can’t fire me technically. Star employee…..given multiple raises and bonuses….so work ethic isn’t an issue. I’m in Alabama though. I wish I could get a sponsor of sorts without the AA meeting stuff. If I had someone to call or message when I want to drink….and they could help detour me. I want to quit completely sooo bad! I just don’t know what to do.

Give yourself a break, you have a lot going on. I'd look o to smart recovery or the 'easy way's for a fresh perspective on your goals. The easy way is working for me, and I'm confident it will last.
I haven’t heard of it.
Illustrates that the benefits we have perceived from alcohol are all illusions. Then we're not fighting ourselves trying to weigh good and bad.

Good to see you reaching out for help! It takes a lot of courage to do so. There are plenty of people that want to support you and will accept you. Keep your focus on these good people.
