Hello
Hello
It's been a long time since I admitted I have a problem not just with alcohol but with other addictions as well. This steamed from childhood abuse and instead of dealing with it I covered it up. most days would look like this
and I didn't know what to do. Still don't. Now that I've hit rock bottom there's no place to go but up.

Hello and welcome.
yup, up is good. I know where you're coming from. I drank to self medicate an underlying mental illness. And it worked. Until I became a full blown alcoholic.
Hopefully you can quit drinking.
You've made a big step by admitting you may have a problem. Now it's time for action.
There are recovery programs that help many. Coming here helps me a lot, and I hope it helps you, too.
Keep on reading and posting. It's great to have you here.

My whole life I was so depressed and it was because of the abuse (physical, mental, emotional) I received from my mother. growing up. When I found alcohol it was wonderous. I had found a release from the constant stress I was under from my parents and then from myself because my self esteem was nonexistent. I know how you feel. I thought I had hit bottom on several occasions but low and behold I went even further down. I am sober for me now and no one else. Please hang in there and keep posting to SR.

I too grew up with similar abuse and turned to drugs and alcohol to numb the pain and nightmares of life. I am no longer in that part of my life and it is time to stop the insanity and start living a normal life. We deserve to have better lives and sobriety is the stepping stone to making a change toward the freedom from our past.
Welcome and enjoy coming up from the bottom! You will like it the further up you go.
