This time no pretending
Hi
I am new to this forum. I have been sober nearly 6 weeks now. It's been hard and easy at times. Right now it's hard, I have been sober 6 months last year but thought I could go back and be a social drinker. I now know that just won't work for me as I ended up back where I was quite quickly,
I think that I am sad that I won't be able to drink again...but relieved that I won't be owned by it and obsessed by it.
My husband is also a heavy drinker though not a daily craver like me. That really makes some days here hard and I feel pretty alone in my fight at times,
I am staying positive and am determined to move forward no matter what,

Hi Kaylene
Congrats on 6 weeks sober. I can relate to the sometimes easy sometimes hard feeling. My hubby is a heavy drinker also.
When It gets "hard" come join us in chat. The Aussie hour kicks off around
