Hi cakeater, I can relate! It was hard to admit to a problem, especially early on. It's easy to find people to compare myself and think, I'm not that bad.

But I kept staying sober anyway, because it felt good, and I felt I needed some changes in my life. Over time my perceptions changed, and now I see more clearly that I was addicted. I can see more clearly all the negative consequences caused by drinking, including subtle negative impacts on my moods and thinking.

So hang in there! It's a big change and not always easy, but at least for me it's always been well worth it. I hope SR can be one of the tools that helps you stay sober for good.
