Do you still think drinking makes you more interesting?

Maybe it's worth while thinking about what you're trying to achieve with your drinking and why you don't seem to like who sober you is.

Might be a start anyway?

You'll find a ton of support here

Thanks. A voice at the back of my head also tells me staying sober for someone else may not work in the long term.

I've always had self-esteem/hate issues.

Thanks so much for the replies!
