Some advice I could use would be how to broach this subject with my girlfriend. I'm terribly nervous about "enlisting" her help, but I need her more than ever.
She comes home from work soon, and this is a conversation we need to have immediately. My decision to quit drinking has been on my mind for so long, and I do believe my health has declined as a result.
I'm just lost I guess. I know she will be loving and supportive, but I also have some irrational aversion to appearing vulnerable, and/or not "with it". Obviously I am not with it when drinking. I just really want to get my life back, since from a young age I have never not been drinking. It's just progressed to the point I feel like it's killing me, and I'm doing it.
This probably isn't the place for this--and I'm rambling--but it feels good to do so. I will look for a more relevant place to discuss this--but any help would be appeciated. I just feel so lost, scared...
