Back again
Hello,
I quit for 3.5 years then started again. when I was sober I was so happy and stable, despite going through a breakup, divorce, career change, house move - all the major stuff. Despite all the good stuff I picked up again last year and it's been a slow deterioration since tbh. on and off, more off than on, then more on than off. I've been on here a few times since then, joined a few classes but just couldn't stick to it. I just wanted a drink.
I met my now husband when sober and he has seen me sober and then occasionally drinking then more recently, more heavy drinking. We got married last moth and I've recently had a serious wake up call - nothing specifically bad happened (YET) but I have suddenly realised how much I have to lose and lose it I will if I do not stop drinking.
I do not want to be this person anymore. I don't want to drink, feel ill, feel anxious. I want to get back to my sober life again. So I'm back, reading, posting and keeping in touch. Thank you .
