Oh, I just "love" this "not giving up on life" thing.
It is not giving up on life, it is starting a real life and rediscovering it.
I was addicted to wine and none of my friends thought I was alcoholic either. People still tell me things about "deserving to relax". I usually answer that I relax and have fun. I just don't drink.
SR is a great place and I can't thank this community enough. When I joined I was terrified that I wouldn't be able to cope with life without wine. Now I am heading to 5 years wine-free in October. Life still goes on and it's much better this way.
And don't tell yourself that you will fail. If you take this seriously and decide that it's worth investing effort and time, that there is no way you are doomed to fail.
Best wishes)
