I've finally accepted it OUT LOUD - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

alcoholsux · 11-12-2011, 10:49 AM

I've know for some while, it started about 3 years ago, and when I found my self drinking at the job, I knew it wasnt good, but here I am 3 years later, finally saying it outloud, time to hold myself accoutable. I am 31, a mother of 4, and I don't want to live like this anymore. I have constant axiety, always feeling Blah, and drinking secretly. I don't do much, I've gained 12 pounds this past year and lost interest in myself. After an panic attack today, crying to my mom, once again on the phone, I have decided, that this is it. I am anxious, nervous, scared yet excited to begin this new chapter in my life. All feed back and stories are welcome! I thank you all in advance for your support!

Welcome!

You can stay stopped! Please see a doctor if you drank daily as your body may depend on the alcohol and may "revolt" on stopping abruptly.

You posted in the 12 step forum. AA meetings can be searched in your area: aa city state.

Stop by the Newcomer's forum as most people stick around there!

Glad you are here! It takes a strong person to ask for help!
