Cassidyjo

Hi my name is Cassidy I am a 22 year old female and my drinking is out of control. I have ruined friendships because of it and I don't want to keep living life waking up ashamed and confused about what happened the night before. I'm hoping I can get help from this site. I have a lot of friends that all drink but they aren't like me where once I start I can't stop. They aren't alcoholics like I am..

Hi! Welcome xoxo
It's really hard waking up in the morning after drinking too much.
There's a ton of info and really great people on this site.
Stick around

Welcome, Cassidyjo!

I found life without alcohol much easier and more pleasant. My wife thinks so too!

Read around and post often--it works if you work it!

Welcome to SR. This is a great place to find help and support if you want to stop drinking and change your life. I have 55 days of sobriety and I owe it to the AA program and this forum. Congratulations on taking the first step on your new journey!!! Peace...out

Thanks I think having someone to talk to is going to be a good change

Welcome to SR Cassidyjo - there's tons of support and good advice here

I had no off switch either but being part of this community really helped me get sober and stay that way

I know we can help you too

Have you any ideas on how you might stay sober?

Hello Cassidyjo, it's odd all of my old friends drink too! Birds of a feather I guess. Since i quit drinking 100 days ago I've made a new friend that doesn't drink. I have as much fun with him as I did with my drinking buddies. It has taken a little getting use to.

I don't have many ideas on how I'm going to stay sober this time. I'm just gonna stop pretending I can do it on will power because that never lasts long. I need a hobbie I can enjoy with other people who are trying to stay healthy. I was thinking about boxing or yoga. And meditation is said to help with the urges to drink ��

Welcome to the family. The support here has helped me stay sober for over six years now. I hope we can do the same for you.

Willpower never worked for me either cos part of my will wanted to drink. Accepting that my life would never get better unless I stopped drinking was a better motivation for me.

This is a great link on recovery plans:
