Ready to give myself a chance
I'm 30 years old. Spent the better part of the last decade self-medicating with alcohol. So, as you can guess, it was a rollercoaster ride. It got progressively worse, to the point where blackouts and lost time had become normal. I always managed to still function and keep a job, somehow, miraculously. But I destroyed a number of important relationships and now find myself alone. I realized that if I don't stop now, I have no chance at happiness. So I'm ready to finally stop, to be present in my own mind without the crutch of alcohol.
