Bradley, last December 16th something bad happened to me. I was removed from my place of employment and eventually told to never come back. December 24 was xmas eve with family. They were all drinking - a lot. I was not planning to quit drinking. But I didn't drink that night. I made the decision the week prior on the spot. Sometimes it takes a life changing event for some of us to wise up. Some are lucky and able to recognize something must change before it's too late. Be one of those.
the only reason my sobriety date is December 28 is because EAP told to me drink before I checked into rehab so insurance would cover it. Brilliant! Otherwise I'd have an extra week.

6. Your Addictive Voice (AV) is any thinking that supports or suggests the possible future use of alcohol or other drugs.
You always speak of how isolated you feel and going to a face to face support group such as AA or SMART would be a great way for you to make some new supportive sober friends...just saying.
PS: we are your friends of course but there are things you are missing online such as the eyes popping out of my head when your AV wrote: I will make the most of it LOL
It is good that you are reaching out here but reach out on real time too.
