I want to stop

Welcome Val,

I am glad you found us. Many people use alcohol as a way to cope with difficult feelings. Working on the underlying issues can help; but, it is often best to get the drinking under control first or concurrently.  How did the first day go? how are you doing now?

I should have said Resentments forces us to go back out.

I have periods when I'm fine, however as soon as bad memories resurface of how my partner betrayed me, then cycle starts all over again
 
Resentments keep us going back out. Find a therapist and see if you can forgive and move on. Otherwise we will be stuck in the vicious cycle.

This could be me, but different triggers.
I have been 42 days without a drink. I feel healthier and much happier.
Stick with it Val.

Hello everyone,

I was hesitant to share but I feel like it's the right thing to do. I need help. More than anything I  am hoping that I can find the support I am looking for. I'm ashamed of the person I've become. I feel as though I can handle my drinking in social settings, but when I'm home and after having one too many the nasty drunk comes out. I know what triggers me. The next morning, today for example, was super embarrassing and I immediately regretted drinking. I have periods when I'm fine, however as soon as bad memories resurface of how my partner betrayed me, then cycle starts all over again.

I want today to be over, so I can start off on the right foot tomorrow.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

Val
