Annie Grace helped me get sober so I encourage you to Google her … she’s the absolute BEST!! I borrowed her 2 books from the library for free, but you can also get them on Amazon. The 1st one I read is called This Naked Mind. The 2nd one is called The Alcohol Experiment. They are both very enlightening!!. She also has a podcast & she answers readers questions on YouTube. I downloaded her app on my phone for free too. It’s called This Naked Mind Companion App. Her message work because of the science & psychology. She will help you forgive yourself & show yourself some grace. She also co-wrote a book about nicotine for people trying to give up smoking. Good luck!!!

You can get through this! It's going to be okay. Just don't pick up that first drink. Talking to someone and speaking about what you're struggling with is a huge step!

Just remind yourself, do you want that old lifestyle again...

Did you gain anything from it? ..nope just a lot of anger, anxiety, depression and loss of hope..

Just remember "One Day at a Time"

Don't let the bottle win.

You got this :pray::pray::pray:

I'm struggling, too. I love the high and hate the disappointment at my behavior. Good luck

Thank you everyone, I preoccupied my time with reading people's stories of recovery, that helped get threw last night. I have been to AA and I have done Annie Grace, yesterday I tried my first hypnosio session on my app which worked in the moment for a couple hours but not enough to get threw the evenings which are my worse. 7pm to 1am

Yes that pretty much sums it up

Flip the script! Get your behind to a meeting, raise your hand and tell on yourself.
Then repeat. Keep on repeating.

Intensive outpatient helped me a great deal! You should look into it. The one I did was based on your income. But I know some except insurance. If you have it.
