My story , help for others
I am 4 1/2 months sober
It's not been an easy road and is still early days but I'm in control now and have a sober future in front of me which feels great
Getting help was the first step which is the most important thing , i never thought I would go to group etc as I felt if I wanted to stop I would do it on my own , if you feel this way going to meetings a no brainer it had help me so much sharing my experiences And listening to others.
It is so hard on your own , at first it feels very scary but trust me there is nothing to be scared about it is very enjoyable and a great release
I am 37 and wanted to stop drinking and using drugs for well over 10 years , everytime I said never again it wouldn't last so just kept repeating the past over and over .its so hard but getting help is the first step.
Understanding your urges and When you feels like having a drink remember the day you wanted to stop and keep those feelings .
I still socialized with friends now and then but being around people drinking or using isn't much fun and becomes boring , you feel isolated at times. I rarely go to the pub now as don't see the point , I just do other things that I love doing and this fills my void time.
Reading also helps ie self help books etc jack cranfields stuff is great
Thinking of a life without drink and drugs is an amazing feeling, I didn't want to waste anymore of my life .
I'm on the right track and help doing what is working ,
I am so happy my relationship is amazing and personal life ,
Feel very excited about the future
I love to help others so feel free to ask me anything
