I'm going through a divorce (at 25, after 5 years of marriage) I have no (non-drinking) friends and I feel like my life is slowly getting sucked down a drain. I want to stop, but I also don't. I feel like I won't have any fun if I quit. I'm pretty much not having any fun now, so I guess there is nothing to lose. I am unhappy and I want to change. Sobreity seems awful to me.
I'm new too, must say it's good to see so many people who know what it's like having this illness. Stick at it and let us know how you're getting on. Remember at the tough part, there is somebody else at the same part. Today is my tough part (again
).
