soberequalsbett

SoOo after 22 months I relapsed and this time I am forcing myself to quit, because there is a part of me that just does not want to. However, I know that i have to be honest with myself. I am going to have to do what it takes to stay away from my hometown, where I am always triggered. I need to sober up and get out of that life, but it is so hard when I get lonesome for home.

Hi soberequalsbett

Yeah, even after nearly killing myself I wasn't 100% on quitting...

thankfully this is a great community and the folks here helped me eventually be ok with the idea of forever.

I wanted what these guys had..and I got it.

Welcome aboard

I didn't want to quit drinking either, just wanted the consequences to go away. I finally got sick and tired of always being sick and tired, and got sober for good. It took some effort and changes, but it was worth it. I am much happier now, and waking up feeling good never gets old.

I hope our support can help you get sober too.

Good to meet you, soberequalsbett. You have us to talk things over with - and we all understand. This place helped me stop a life long drinking habit. It feels so good to be free of it. You never have to feel alone - and you can do this.

22 months is one heck of an accomplishment . Glad your back with us.

Glad you are back, 22 months is a good amount of sober time. What was working for you during that time? Maybe you can add something to the support you already had in place.
