You took the first major step. It took me about 6 years to accept it. It’s not easy. Now is the time for better things

Hi Belinda. You've completed the first step-admitting you have a problem. Now it's time to get help. :grin:

There are many resources available. So if you try 1 or 2 or 3 and they don't work, there are many more.

There are treatment centers, meetings, sponsors, therapy, events...how do you feel about those?

This is a great plan. I know how scary that feels, but it will be a weight lifted off once you’ve taken that first step. Have you had a chance to call yet today?

I did call. My therapist will be calling me tomorrow and someone else will be calling me tonight. I’m making dinner so I can’t explain right now but I will later. Thank you

I new I was an alcoholic for many years. Was never in denial. Just did it cause I thought I was having fun bar hopping. Then got a DUI and started drinking alone for 10 years cause I was bored. It all hit me last year got really depressed and anxiety attacks waking up drunk and hating how I was living. Stopped for a month then started again. Now I’m 4 days sober and giving this my all. I see no reason for me to drink alcohol again! Pointless

It’s a choice . And we know that if it’s a choice then we can decide better or make a different choice any new day !!

Hello Belinda: Thank-you for your honesty. Have you ever tried, really tried, going to AA or NA meetings? Millions have found freedom from addiction through those fellowships. I'm a satisfied customer. :relieved::pray:
