Hi Momofthree
thank you. Yes anything can be an addiction...I used to drink constantly always had to party 7 days a week. Now its different . I dont drink all the time but when i do i make up for lost time and self sabotage with stupid actions when i am drunk . I dont get it. i also binge eat too .
I cant explain why we dont focus on our positive things in life instead off self sabbotage and self medication I guess you can call it....I am trying to find out..maybe for me its always been easy? self pity? I dont know.
You have a very clear mind frame and you can see what is happening in your life which is good! Hopefully this site can help you really get to the goals you really want with the drinking etc....
Hi Momofthree
well you are here and that is great :) I am no expert all I can share is my own experiences and offer support :) i have been on this site on and off for many years . It is great . you can readd other peoples experiences and well maybe like myself you can relate... i do know that feeling of shame all too well....i am still feeling ashamed and its been 22 days since my last drink . I self sabotage myself and am now in the process of finding out why so i can learn to love myself and no longer do it.
this is a great place for support and motivation ! and recognizing you have an issue is the first step . :) there are great tools here for education and even a diary to help you stay focussed...
