*was* 2 years sober…

Struggling Help
#1

I’d quit drinking for 2 years. I felt AMAZING. Then was really hit hard by the death of my cat. She was so special to me. Starting up again in April. At first it was 1 drink every 10 days or so. Over the past 2 weeks I’m mostly back to daily drinking. Luckily I’m a light weight so it’s only a couple drinks a day but I really want/need to get back to ZERO drinks a day!

I know I can do this since I did it before, but for some reason this time seems a bit harder.

I’m new to this app. If anyone has any favorite videos or places in the app I should check out I’d love the support.

Welcome. Try AA if you haven’t already.

Glad you knew where to go for support! Always recommend in person meetings if possible.

Exact same thing happened to me a couple years ago. Got a kitten that died of leukemia and relapsed that day and couldn’t go more than a week without relapsing until I just fully spun out back into my addiction. You’ll make it through 🫶🏾

I recommend the book 'Alan Carr's quit drinking without willpower'. It has helped me change my life.

Loosid is amazing.
We get sober one day at a time.
Getting emotionally sober may take years, decades even, but every single action taken today in hopes of a better future is valuable

Also I wanted to add that if you’re a visual learner it might be helpful to track your journey using the tracker in the app.
