New to the group.
Hi. I’m currently on five days of sobriety. The other day changed my life. I blacked out drunk and said horrible things to my partner and almost wrecked my car. When I sobered up I realized my partner wants nothing to do with me and I have a problem. Being sober two days a week is not okay. I wouldn’t get drunk every day but I drank all of the five days. This has been going on for well over a year and I also suffer from depression and anxiety. I can’t continue to live like this anymore. I want off the roller coaster to be myself again. The things I’ve done drunk are shameful to me. And also things I wouldn’t do sober.

Welcome Taras! Congratulations on your 5 days sober. The early days are rough, but we're here to help.
I was a wreck in the final days of my drinking life. Like you, I was doing dangerous & out-of-character things. There was no longer any control at all. I had to stop all together or die. You can reclaim your life - we're glad you're here.
