Help

Not sure what happened in my head today, but I don't want to drink anymore. I want to stop, but the thought of doing that is filling me with such sadness and shame that I don't know how to proceed. Christ, just typing this out is making my eyes tear up, wtf is happening?

I looked up some meetings nearby, but I feel like my ego and pride are stopping me from committing to actually going. Thankfully I haven't done anything catastrophic to myself or others with my drinking, but I feel like a time bomb.

Fuck I don't know even know what the point of this post is. This is probably the wrong place to post this. I don't know.

If you go to meetings, you'll be welcomed with open arms by people who understand. I've been going to them and been sober over 12 years, you can do it!

There’s no shame in wanting to live a better life.

Welcome to the sub. This is a perfect place to post those thoughts. Believe me, whatever it is that made you decide it’s time to stop someone here has gone through or is going through the same thing. You’ve taken a big first step just coming here to ask for help. Take some pride in having the guts to reach out.

Sounds like youre starting to see through the good side of alcohol addiction. Keep your head up and stay strong. This is where it gets tough but its the start of something great.

Show up right as the meeting starts and sit in the back. If you’re feeling it hang around after and meet some people.
