I’ve tried but I feel too weak. I really, really try. My husband said I can call him when I want a drink so that may help. I need to have a plan in place. I just can’t trust myself.

How bad do I want to be sober?
My honest answer...not bad enough. I’m a highly functioning binge drinker. I’ve had no real consequences. I want to stop for my health. I want to stop because I could die binge drinking on the medication I take. Why doesn’t that scare me?
