I remember seeing Leaving Las Vegas and was blown away of Nicholas Cage's depiction of alcoholism. That movie made me re-evaluate my drinking habits and helped me to begin my journey towards sobriety.

There's one called Four hard days or something like that with Mila Kunis that does a pretty good job at portraying not only what it's like for the loved ones of addicts but how their relationships can be affected and what addicts deal with when starting to get clean

Oooh I have not seen this but I am adding it to my list because I love Mila Kunis.

My anxiety has been at bay after changing my job and just feeling like I HAVE control over my life. But now it's back because I feel like I'm behind in other aspects of my life (I.e dating). I have so many friends getting engaged and I just feel... anxious since I am SO single. I'm 27, and I know I'm at that age where people do but it just sucks. I've been on the apps too and it's just... more demotivating honestly than anything else

1 week sober! Over the last 12 years (I’m early 30s) I’ve reached this point just a handful of times. Alcohol is deeply intertwined into my social life much like everyone’s is I imagine. Feeling clear minded and energized. Want to stay clean for my own mental and physical health and for the benefit of my wife and children. Just starting this journey so thank you in advance to this community as I’m ready to learn from you all and be a part. Let’s go!

Looking for motivation to get me to my first Alcohol rehab appointment.

I know everyone will have different answers for this but how did you know it was time to get sober? I think it might be time for me to find a new job and pursue sobriety, but I don't feel like I'm a rock bottom which is the only time I've ever seen people really commit to it (my father). Apathy isn't the right word but I just kind of feel numb about everything and I think being sober would maybe help.

Had a really bad day 😞 I don’t know why I keep doing this to myself. Things will be going well and then out of nowhere I get blackout drunk. I am tired of feeling sick and anxious from drinking.

I’ve never shared with anyone that I have this problem, until I found this message board. I have so much anxiety that I won’t be able to get this under control. I feel isolated and sad.

Embellished on several elements of the case. I am worried that giving them this report will cause me to be let go.
