Exclamation Keeping off it!

Hi all, hope you're all doing well

I just registered today and after reading some posts i think this forum may be the best way forward.

I won't bore you all with my whole life story for now, just a few basics.

brought up around alcohol.
used alcohol most of my life.
self medicate to come off alcohol.
last drink I had was 9 days ago.


Over the years I have told myself so many lies:

I can drink tonight and stop again tomorrow. - wrong
It's not really doing me any harm. - wrong
alcohol is all I deserve from life. - wrong (hopefully)
seizures, vertigo, anxiety, depression, agoraphobia are nothing to do with me drinking alcohol - wrong


The list goes on.

For me, the biggest problem is keeping off it. I spend so much time alone, 24 hours is a long time everyday without drinking/getting drunk. I have to fill that big massive empty space and spending time on here would certainly break the day/night up a bit.

Thanks for reading & hope to get to know you all
