I have to stop
 

I just want to to write down somewhere what I know is the truth. I have to stop drinking. I am losing days of my life, opportunities at my job, and respect for myself. I am putting myself at risk and physically injuring myself. I woke up the other day and I had bruises from falling and I didn't even remember falling. So I am done. I plan to post every day for 90 days. Just writing this down feels like a weight off my shoulders.

Welcome and good luck :)

Hi, Selfrespect. Welcome to Sr!

Congrats on decision to stop drinking and reclaim your life. You are at great place here with tons of support.

I would also suggest to check December thread -it's for those who are quitting in December.

Keep posting and best wishes!

Welcome fellow New Yorker. :) That's the conclusion I finally came to - I was destroying myself, spending life in a fog. You can do this, Selfrespect.

:welcome to SR Selfrespect.
You will find a LOT of support here.
I would suggest that you join the 24 hours recovery connection where people commit daily not to drink or drug for the next 24 hours. It is a fun way to hold ourselves accountable.

Another good place to post daily is the class of Dec 2015 where you will be able to interact with your peers who quit at the same time and support each other
