Trying again
Hello,
I am new to this and posting for the first time. I am very newly sober and just looking for support and connection to people who understand. Alcohol is my addiction. I have a husband and two kids. I have a career. I want to live and not just that but stop this GAME. Stop lying by omission. Stop pretending I drink like a normal person when really I’m hiding that I had drinks already and you don’t know. I don’t want my family in danger and I don’t want my girls to have a distant mother.
Just sharing. Thanks

Hi Nelle. I relate completely. I was so distant with my family when drinking. All the hiding and secrets always kept my mind occupied. I am so much more present now sober! This website helps a lot, I log in every night and read. You can do this!
Lots of support here for living a sober life. I hope our support can help you get sober for good.

Nelle,
Sr saved me from a wretched existence so far.
My BP used to be 190 over 110. I was a dead man walking. I was afraid to get a real check up. I began to physically and mentally fall apart.
I quit drinking to try and get in shape. When I quit, the real damage shown through all the self meds.
It was a living hell getting through the first 6 months, but i could feel myself healing. I am this sober and I still feel healing.
I went in for a real check up yesterday. The Dr. says do you drink? I say, not a drop. He says, why? I say, I wanted to get in shape, and then I learned all about booze from the internet.
Then I say, do you drink? He says, of occasionally, wine, and hard stuff w friends. I say, so a few times a month. Hmmmm....
He is addicted. That is all it takes.
I don't believe the hype. I can't fully explain the feeling of liberty i get from being a born again non drinker.
It is empowering.
Thanks.
