Hi BadgerFan
I dunno about you but I'd made years of promises to stop...my reputation and trustworthiness were in a deep hole...
the good news is that didn't stop me from getting sober, and I got my reputation and my trustworthiness back
It would be great if everyone had 100% support from everyone they care about but for most of us, that's not the case, at least not initially.
Thats why places like SR exist - you'll always find support here.
The bottom line is noone else has to believe you can do it for you to do it, but you have to believe.
Don;t be distracted by sadness anger resentment or despair- our addiction can work with things like that and pull us to a dead stop.
You can do this
