Hey everyone. Today is my day 1. Reading all your posts in this thread have really made me feel better—not alone. It’s so helpful to know that other people feel as powerless and scared as I do right now. So many of your stories sound way way too familiar to me. I’m not sure I’m ready to talk about all the specific ways I’ve been stupid/neglectful/completely controlled by alcohol, but it’s definitrly time to make a change and get control of my life back.
