Forget tales of woe. For me, I've come to realize that my rock bottom was with me for years. It was that nagging voice I heard in my head the second I'd wake up: "isn't it time for a drink yet? Maybe not now, but soon, right?"
Been sober for 1 1/2 years and I don't obsess about my next drink any more.
So I guess I would encourage you to think about the reason you're asking for our advice. Maybe you already know the answer to your question? And if that's the case, you're closer to recovery than you might think.
