I've been debating this site since January. 3 days sober and I need to keep going. Im going through a divorce at the same time. No surprise my alcoholism was a major contributor to my divorce. She officially called off the reconciliation 2 months ago and drinking isn't helping. Its time to come clean for good.
you will find a lot of support here!

Welcome spinape,
I'm in a similar situation and I've never felt better than I do right now in the past year. I've spent most of the month sober and have about two weeks since my last drink. I have pretty much self medicated with alcohol for years along with plenty of binging along the way. Good luck to you, this is a great site for knowledge and support.

tough part about this. Divorce cause anxiety, quitting the bottle causes anxiety. I`ve been struggling creating so many self defeating thoughts as to why it all went down, im sure coming off alcohol is amplifying this, its very hard

One thing I am sure of is that I make better decisions about almost everything when I am not drinking.
A divorce is the kind of thing where ill conceived ideas can have long lasting consequences. I think everything about my life has gotten better without alcohol, including my relationship with my separated wife. I don't think we are going to get back together but now i feel that its more likely we may both come out of this happy.
It is very hard, but I think, ultimately, it makes life easier.
