Well i haven't had not one drink since October 6th, and my life never got any better only worse it didn't repair my relationship with my Fiancé. So today I've decided that I want the pain and hurt to go away and drinking I know is one way to do that. So I give up i just wasn't meant to be happy or loved in this life alcohol loves me tho... So cheers :beers:

By not drinking did you expect your problems to resolve themselves on their own?
In order for "sobriety" to work you the individual has to work for it.

October 6th and you want expect all your problems to be solved ? Putting down the drink is the easy part. Staying sober is where the work comes in. What have you done besides whine about your problems today ? Get a sponsor, work the steps and work with others or expect to stay miserable

I've put in my work I didn't just stop drinking I've got out and did thing's nothing that I've done has made a difference within my life or bring any happiness. I'm not whine just being honest and I am doing something about it drowning my hurt and pain away....

Did you expect it to happen overnight?
Your drinking has suppressed your emotions, feelings, thought process and vision. This is just the beginning.
I agree with Pope. What have you done to work on your sobriety?
You state that you've got out and did things. What have you done?
Drinking your pain away is not the solution. It will only make things worse.
We can lead the horse (you) to the water. We can't make it (you) drink.

Sounds like a huge scam to me

The bad thing is that alcohol is a depressant. Counseling?

How I talked to myself in my head is what made a huge difference, anytime I had a negative thought I immediately hit it with positive affirmations, I am love, I am calm, I am enough. The mind can only hold one thought at a time, in the beginning it's challenging. But if you keep doing it becomes a habit. I understand fake it till you make it, I hope this helps you. I live it today and I can honestly say I'm happy today. But it doesn't happen overnight.

So you were putting expectations on your fiance just because you quit drinking. I get it. I went through a job loss, divorce, relocation, and more during the first year after I gave it up. I really thought me quitting and the expectations of my now ex wife quitting would solve all the problems. Idk you, but I can assure you that within 30ish days, there’s still plenty of reconciliation needing to be done … most importantly with yourself before expecting anything from anyone else.

I've done it all before I stopped drinking before for 5 years and within those 5years my life only got worse hence why I went back to drinking I stopped again this time and still the same..... I don't have 5years of my life left to chance that it will work this time so I'm in a rush now.

I just hate life and have wanted out since I was 12years old nothing has changed since then. Nothing good has happened to me and happiness wasn't meant for me...

So drinking became my best friend and I guess I'm just gonna die with a drink in my hand cuz at least with drinking I know what I'm up against and it takes the hurt and pain away.

Please keep trying Angie. Not all problems go away overnight but by staying sober and reaching out to people and talking about it it helps.
