I hate to admit that I feel horrible from inheriting the addiction gene from my biological father. I want to be sober, but I don’t know what it looks like being sober anymore. I’m very lost and I’ve been battling my addiction for years in silence. I’m tired, but I feel like everyone else has something going on, so I try not to overwhelm them with it.

Have you tried attending some meetings?
I’ve been trying to find some. I’m just nervous
Start with an online meeting. And sobriety looks 10 times better than being drunk. Even on the worst of days.

Did you drink today?
I don’t drink, I struggle with other substances. And no I didn’t use I’m actually really proud of myself because around this time I usually do.

How are you doing today?
Get to a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous. They will help you. I found a solution there. There’s tons of people who were just like you. And now in sobriety, they are happy joyous and free.
Get to the in person meetings. It’s much better.
My mom's side are all alcoholic 's plus me. It's been taking me years to get sober. I been sober for 61 days. I won't tell you it's been easy because it hasn't. But, good things been happening. One minute at a time for me.
