I do know what you mean...and you're right. I haven't thought about it as disrespecting ones self as well as others...hmm..but it is. And it definitely does cause low self esteem. Iv felt the same many times after drinking...and it sucks feeling like that. That's good motivation. I like that. We are better than that. We can do better. You already are.

Yes Samantha I'm still taking it one day at a time after all these years.. And it's still working !

Hi Samantha! 7 months without a drink now. I joined the app because it’s still very tough to be surrounded by people who drink. You will get through it!

Thank you Jason. :blush:

Welcome :wave:! I've been using Loosid for coffee support since last year. I think it's a great place to find friends who are or have gone through similar struggles. Stay strong :muscle: :yellow_heart:

I’m also new! Just signed up for the app and I’m 24 hours sober. Doesn’t seem like a lot but it’s a big deal for me. 25 and looking for new friends

I was in jail, so it wasn’t too good.

#33

I made it 142 days from that one. Then a relapse from mid November 2019 until May 30 2020.

#34

After that relapse I finally admitted that I was beyond being able to do it myself or my way. Therapy hadn’t worked. My dad begged me to try AA. That was all it took. 2 meetings and I went from being alone on an island of misery to being in a club of people just like me who didn’t drink anymore and that all of a sudden was a possibility for me.

#35

Yeah been there done that. I'm tired of waking up not remembering and not knowing who I called or what I did .. Thats the part that gives me anxiety don't kno who to apologize to due to blacking out.
