You're not doomed. None of us are perfect. We all have a past that includes things we don't like. I also think you don't have to tell someone all the gruesome details of why you don't drink. You can just say you stopped drinking for your health or some such. It won't be a lie! We are much healthier when we don't ingest poison.

I don’t think anyone is doomed Vik
I think you need to focus on yourself and your recovery right now tho.

Give yourself a chance to know who sober you is before you offer that to someone else

If I can find recovery, anyone can
I just had to work at staying sober more than I worked at staying drunk..y'know?

Vik - I once thought I was doomed. I'd made a huge mess of my life & figured no one would want anything to do with the fallout from it. I was wrong!
We're glad you're here, too. Proud of you for taking action.
