Thank you!❤️

Don’t try and deal with this alone. I hope you seek out an AA meeting. AAs are a compassionate bunch. You are going through tough times, but face it with people that will care for and listen to you. Alcohol and drugs will only crush. AA has help me find a new way to experience life (hard times and good). 🙏

You're not alone! You matter and are worthy -- just as you are! There is a solution.
For me, it came through A.A. and the 12 Steps. That led to my Higher Power, and a Spiritual guidance system that has changed my life and given me purpose and so much hope.
We're here for you! Don't give up!

1st of all: I’m super inspired by this bowl. I’m now mid-30s and recently went 50+ days without drinking and felt good/productive. (Longest streak since before turning 21) But how do you stick with it? I’m conflicted bc I haven’t hit a “rock bottom” and part of me loves a glass of wine to unwind and mark the end of the workday, but I also have a hard time stopping once I start (no such thing as 1 glass). Feel boarder-line between these 2 worlds and unsure where to go. Anyone feel similar?

My husband is an alcoholic and it’s getting worse with the holidays. He’s started every day drinking high alcohol-content IPAs as early as 8am. And he drinks them all day and all night like soda. He did AA when he was younger but is now vehemently against it. He is high-functioning. Has a PhD from MIT and works for a venture capitalist firm. I wondered how he gets through the day, but he started to come home early (mid-afternoon) and immediately open a beer while working. What should I do?

SPIRITUAL HEALTH
When the spiritual malady is overcome, we straighten out mentally and physically.

It is very difficult for me to come to terms with my spiritual illness because of my great pride, disguised by my material successes and my intellectual power. Intelligence is not incompatible with humility, provided I place humility first. To seek prestige and wealth is the ultimate goal for many in the modern world.

I’ve been sober about 14 months, and now with things opening up more I’ve been going out to dinner, concerts etc with friends. I’ve been finding it hard to have fun, or not get restless while out. I think a large part of this is maybe I find the company around me boring? and they’re also all drinking. Maybe I just needed to write that out and vent to say, I’m bored! Maybe saying that out loud will help me get out of my comfort zone to find new activities that change my outlook.

Should we let her detox at home or is this just asking for trouble? Can provide more details in the comments, but there is a character limit
