Been over 5 weeks
Hello All,
I joined SR a few weeks ago but never introduced myself.
(I have some Social Anxiety so give me a breaK)
Ive been sober for a little over 5 weeks ( I count weeks not days)
I just started SMART Recovery 2 weeks ago as 12 step and faith based programs do not appeal to me.
Had an incident that forced me to face the fact that I indeed had a drinking problem.
At this point, I still have the idea of wanting to be a 'normal drinker'.
Ill give it up forever if I have to, but that's not my first choice.
Have had some pretty stressful times these past 5 weeks, and have def thought, "If i could just have a drink I would feel so much better."
But I am well aware that numbing my pain with alcohol isnt going to make my problems go away... So I dont drink.

Just remember there is no problem that alcohol abuse wont make worse. Seek a higher power than yourself to help with lifes problems. Your here looking so you need help seek and you will find. Try living 12 steps
