LinzyBee

I'm on my fourth day of not drinking, this time. Last year I attempted to get things together and made it 123days before deciding I thought I could handle drinking like a normal person. Long story short, I most definitely can't and very quickly escalated back to drinking daily.
Ive gone to my first two AA meetings this week and plan to keep going. That wasn't something I was brave enough to do during my first attempt at sobriety. I need to do this because my life is exceptionally out of control, and I'm absent in life for my family. I deal with a lot of depression, anxiety, and eating problems. This is something I can work to change right now to get my life back together and hopefully my other issues will improve.
I'm a wife and mother, but I feel very alone. I'm hoping that my attending AA and engaging in a forum like this when I'm feeling down or like I want a drink will give me a sense of belonging.
Thanks for reading

Hi Linzy. I think many of us have tried that 'I can drink normally now' route, with the same results! Sounds like you have a good plan in place this time! Stay close to SR as well :-)

Linzy, you are not alone. We do understand how hard this is. You are likely correct and your depression/anxiety will improve when you stop drinking. And, you will be more able to deal with it. I hope you keep reading and posting.
