Hey, my names Lucas. I've been drinking pretty hard for the last 5 years... its finally coming to a boiling point with my relationship that I quit drinking or I lose everything. Im not a mean drunk, or particularly abusive but its not healthy. Im not good at asking for help or advice but I'd like to seek help from others before I seek professional help... how do I stop this before my life is in true shambles?
Hey Lucas, welcome. Asking for help is definitely not one of my strong suits either but congrats on taking that first step towards something better. My suggestion would be to find some AA meetings in your area and go! Listen to what they have to say, listen to others who have been through what you have and often much worse. Go to a meeting every day for 7 days and then reassess yourself. Talk to the folks that stick around and get a sponsor, someone you can reach out to before you put your mouth around a drink. Best of luck sir!
