hi there
yes its been hard here- and being in a country where alcohol is highly consumed and totally normal doesnt help
my anxiety and agrophobia make it virtually impossible for me to mix with people- i am mostly housebound. i can see how i ended up here, i really can. But i just want to stop and function daily without drinking but just keep failing.
