I need ro be sober, but don't want to be....
I have been struggling to stay sober for years. I can be very destructive when drinking and have many consequences as a result. When I do sober up, I have to face these problems which I don't know how to fix. I get overwhelmed and seek to numb myself again.
Sobriety means isolation and hopelessness. I don't have any support to lean on. Everyone I know have largely distanced themselves or just moved on with their lives.
AA is great but it's the other 23 hours I struggle with. How have people here handled the fear and anxiety in early sobriety? It always gets the best of me, even after 6 months sober.
