Hi Closer,

Welcome to SR. You've come to the right place for support and understanding and to find a way to get your life back. I know exactly what you mean about your day revolving around drinking. My life and my world became smaller and smaller as drinking took over more and more of my mind. But, you can do this. You can stop the cycle and regain your life. Hang around here and be inspired.

Love, Anna

Hi Closer, I'm Marty, an alcoholic. I also loved to shut myself away and drink alone. I was ruining my life. But now I know that it doesn't have to be that way. As Mackat said asking for help is important. Most of us can't do it alone. Welcome!
