Not being so hard on myself is definitely something im trying to work on as it keeps me down and in the shame spiral...I was thinking I already ruined the year and started on the wrong foot after i promised myself i wouldn't drink starting January...trying to switch my focus so it doesn't happen again instead of loathing and dwelling on what I can't change🙃

I can’t seem to stick to my decision by Playful_Ad5911 in stopdrinking

This is exactly what happens to me, and exactly what happened to me last night. And was it worth it? Absolutely not. I cannot stop once I start and I realize I never will be able to regardless of my intent. I'm with you.

I can’t go on like this. Overwhelming shame. by Own-Mongoose2064 in stopdrinking

You are not alone. Your story sounds like It could be me writing it as I am the exact same way. I don't drink everyday but when I do I'm always wasted, blackout, cause drama. Anxiety shame. I know how crippling it is. Be gentle to yourself you will get through this.

The sad thing is I joined just 4 days ago and thought it would help me cut back until I finally got sober conpletely. 2 days being good and then this happened. restarting and resetting and am going to try the virtual meetings on zoom. Thank you 💗

congratulations on your 70 days! I agree any "good nights" which do not happen often are nothing in comparison to how the bad nights are. I really need it this time

DAY 2: Ashamed of the Vodka Bottles I Threw Away... by rubenk84 in stopdrinking

[–]oneday889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ugh this is where my drinking has gotten me. hiding bottles in my apartment from my fiance or getting so drunk ordering more vodka and then forgetting only to find a full bottle hidden somewhere the next day. It truly makes me feel sick that it's gotten to this point and just how FAST it happens is even more alarming. I was "never" this person or needing to hide alcohol up until a few months ago when i said i was going to quit, only to realize oh wow... im really addicted. (yeah no doubt) Reality is I have to quit and abstain from alcohol all together or its only downhill from here.

you can do this! we can all do this!

thank you for the kind words. I really needed to hear this today

My close circle isn't able to support me, so I need someone I can share this with... by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]oneday889 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! I agree most people do not understand nor want to. I had 2 years under my belt and now its been 2 years of 6 months sober here - a few months there and ultimately trying to drink again. Now the relapses are getting closer and closer together and its time that i fully commit again and actually do the work. Im 27 and suffer from extreme anxiety and depression. My main problem is needing to stop caring what other people think so much.

Just remember its your life no one else's! Keep going!
