Good morning Smile-glad you are here. You have taken an incredible step.......Recognizing your relationship with alcohol. Like you, I never felt good enough. Further, I felt alone while sinking further into the grips of alcohol. I had even reasoned with myself I was an every day drinker, and that's the way it was going to be til I die. I couldn't cope with life's challenges anymore. I stayed stressed out and depressed. But every day by 5:30, I'd start drinking so I could forget my pain. Gosh, it was such a dysfunctional cycle. Since May of this year when I chose life, I've learned how to cope again. I even like myself, and am a little proud of myself. By far, stopping drinking was the hardest thing I've ever had to endure. Please know there is light at the end of the tunnel. Take it a day at a time. Embrace each day of sobriety. You can do this. There is a lot of support on here. Members of this group are my heroes. They've got me through so much. Best of luck, and know we are here for you.
