Almost 3 Months
Well to begin, I'm new here and the reason why I'm new here is because almost 3 months ago after ingesting quite the cacophony of ecstasy, Xanax, and alcohol for about 6 days (not all at the same time) I had my first overdose. Since the 19th of August I’ve been trying my best to stay clean. I am not addicted to anything besides alcohol which as it has with many people, destroyed my life. I’ve abused alcohol for 5 years. I am considered a binge drinker and although I’ve come to acknowledge having a problem, it’s very hard for me to take the proper steps to recover. And I am still rather young so growing up this way has made my life extremely difficult and could make my future even more difficult than it really should be.
I’ve been around it my entire life. I was basically raised in a bar. My mother is an alcoholic and at one point my father was as well. I’ve read many posts in this forum and find them inspiring. I’m basically here for support because there has never really been anyone in my life that has quit a drug or stopped drinking and showed pride in quitting. I would just like to learn more about alcoholism and know that I have others “in the same boat” around to listen.
