A very common theme among self-identified alcoholics is that we have the ability to stop drinking alcohol for a variety of reasons but can't seem to stay stopped.
I genuinely wish you all the best, but if you ever get to a point where staying stopped is the issue, there is zero shame in reaching out for help.
I’ll DM you. I want to do the same. Need an accountability partner though. Or someone just to motivate me to stay on track
Happy to be a resource as well. I’m only 9 months in but doing great!

Finding sober friends and sober outlets was so helpful for me.

Welcome back. Do you have an addiction to alcohol or just don't want to drink?
Glad to hear it. Welcome!
Changing the environment is key! And if you can’t change the environment — what can you personally change that you know you’re capable of doing? What is your trigger to reach for the drink? How can that trigger be worked with?
Thinking of you all 🩷 I know how difficult this is, especially when so many people make it seem so easy to just drink and be done and not keep going.
For me, I just need to stay committed to going to a gym and I can keep it. One week in, one week going to the gym daily, zero drinks. It wasn’t too crazy for me to go 2 years before, but it’s definitely harder when I travel for work - that’s the biggest killer for me.
After two years, I thought I could “just have a glass of wine” at work dinners. And that worked for about 3 months. Then it was other events. Then it was “just wine at home”. Then it was “wine and beer at home”. Soon enough I had whiskey and was making cocktails at home.
It got out of hand. I think the reality is I can’t just have a little unfortunately. Fortunately, I do have good discipline when I stop - stopped cold turkey last time and had no issues. Same feeling right now.
