Hello! New User. 53 Days sober and counting
Hi All! Just wanted to say hello. I hope to read and share stuff here. A little about what lead me to become sober once and for all. I went through a few things, for example:
Anyways, I figured enough was enough. So now I am sober. But still got anger issues I am trying to work on. I am back at my parents which helps a lot. Glad my Gf and I broke up as well because she caused me a lot of stress I felt. But unhappy that our son will have separated parents. Either way, that's life. I am in the process of rebuilding at the moment. One thing different this time is that I no longer feel I need alcohol to have a fun life. I believe I never had this feeling before when I tried to quit. I also do not want to drink and drive and potentially kill someone. I spend most of my days inside the house studying for my professional exam and chilling. I am also currently doing therapy online with a licensed therapist about my anger issues. Oh mediation is probably the biggest part of my life now.
- Loss of jobs due to drinking
- DUI
- Hospitlization because I passed out in a parking lot from a blackout (no DUI shocking)
- Hit & Run a stop sign, and car wreck due to it (had a good lawyer so charges dropped)
- Breakup from GF and away from my son due to drinking
- Rehab for 2 weeks (did not help much)
- A lot more things i can't remember

welcome mrclean. i can really relate to the anger. i didnt have it much for the 1st month or so, but once the mental fog lifted- oh man!
it took a while learning the why of it all and how to change, but it was well worth going through it all- i can get frustrated at times but very rarely get angry.
