My Last Attempt At Recovery
 

:thanks:a043:I am 28 years old and have had binge drinker and alcoholism around me all my life and I started drinking at 17 and of course I liked it a lot that began my spiral down into darkness despair mental illness and redemption.:cries3:

Welcome Krysti. How have your previous attempts at recovery gone? Obviously not ended in total sobriety, but do you have a pattern?

I have the pattern of going all or nothing in most everything I do thanks to being bipolar probably Drinking has been my greatest enemy as well as my greatest comfort I can stay sober for a short while 80 days is my personal best then I rationalize I can have one or two with dinner and that works for a while then it increases to a small bottle of wine to a large bottle then two bottles rather rapidly chasing that drunk feel good high

:welcome


You don't need to feel like this anymore.:hug: Staying sober will improve your life in so many ways. Do you have any real life support where you are? I stay sober using this site and counseling.

You can do this.:)

Krysti... good job coming forward and posting. That's a hard first step, it was for me when I did it...

I'm now on day 17 and it seems the further I separate myself from the drinking, the better I feel and the more I see how I am gaining my life back and ending a vicious, deadly cycle.

I hope you stay with us a while... :)

We're happy you found us, Krysti. :) The support & encouragement here are amazing.
