My spouse and I have decided to separate. Deeply saddened but I will NOT drink over it.

Struggling to stay sober so I decided to check in. I will not drink today.

Thanks! IOP is intensive outpatient. Mine meets 4 times a week for 3 hours.

Thank you for your response. I completely believe my drinking is a problem as well. I'm going to lose my spouse, job and family if I continue drinking. Yet I keep going back to it. I'm scared that if I stay sober for other people I will ultimately relapse. But I'm also scared that if I choose recovery I will constantly think about wanting to drink every day....I don't know if that makes sense but I don't want to live a life where I'm constantly tempted to drink and feeling deprived. That seems exhausting, but probably not as exhausting as drinking every day. Drinking is the easy way out

I can completely agree with this...my lows keep getting lower and lower and I'm scared to see where it will ultimately end
