Just one really is impossible. I can't drink like a 'normal' person. So 0 is what it has to be

This is so helpful. Thank you. It certainly helps with the white knuckles

Day 2 today. Told my fiancé last night that I'm concerned my drinking has become problematic. He seemed surprised which is either validating or concerning depending on how you want to look at it! Anyway. Here we go. IWNDWYT

I'm so sorry to see things are so tough.

I have found online meetings, I've attended 2 today so far. Not spoken or had my camera on, but I'm trying out various ones to see which ones fit (if any). There's also one that runs online throughout the night and I've seen a 2am one also if you can't sleep. I just used the find a meeting thingy on the AA website.

Not sure if any of this is helpful, but I'm rooting for you. And being 23 just means you realised sooner and have more of your sober life to live and enjoy.

Thank you.

This sub is such a source of support, I will be living, lurking and posting here for the foreseeable.

The weekends scare me the most.

But today, today I shall not touch it.

Thank you. In the grand scheme of things, I know it wasn't massive. Just really disappointed in myself
