superk8te

I'm here....I've been sober a week. I have ignored my problem for a long time....I thought in my profession that I was fitting in by always going to the bar....I travel for a living....I admit I made some good good friends....and interestingly the ones that matter most are the ones that said, "I'm here...How can I help you" the others called "********" or laughed. Some said I was only doing because of my faith which i'm currently trying to go back to. But my faith wasn't the main reason. It was the toxicity of my personality after too many. My emotional unstableness when I drink and drink and drink. Ive cried so many times over my past. Ive been emotionally abused beyond belief by men. My self worth was shot...it IS shot. So my circle of friends may be smaller due to my choice, but my strength and quality of friendships has been eyeopening.

I have a violent streak that I didn't know about.
Ive been blacking out.
I'm not my happy self.
I have fallen into depression and have terrible anxiety.
I have hidden my issues.
I never categorized myself as one to have alcohol issues.

yet here I am....and I know my issues are real.
