I realized my ex played a huge factor in my drinking. Our toxic relationship would make me spiral it was hard for me to cut him off because I known him since we were kids. But ultimately I had to make the decision to do what was best for myself.

I can so relate. A lot of my drinking and using was driven by me reacting to a toxic relationship at the time. I’m glad you made the choice to cut ties. I know how hard that can be, sometimes toxic relationships are the most difficult ones to get out of. For me, it sometimes felt like I was addicted to the chaos.

One hour, one day at a time. I'm proud of you for choosing to move forward in a healthier direction. I'm new in my sobriety, so I don't have much wisdom to share but I have found the 24/7 zoom meetings on aahomegroup.org to be incredibly supportive. Super easy to use anytime of day or night. You're doing great

Just because you don’t have too much time sober, doesn’t mean you don’t have wisdom to share! Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise
