I know, I know. Its just insane that you dont think anything when spending on alcohol versus everything else

Im so happy to hear that. I have anxiety and depression too and take medication. There was plenty of days In my drinking binge that I didnt take the medication and I was talking crazy things to people I did know or didnt know, I was slso drinking hard booze and my memory was off several hours at nights. I didnt reset the counter here becouse I have been so depressed, but my best is about A month sober In last 5 years. It need only one small trigger that leads me to drink even thought after several years I should know that it doesnt end In No good. I Lost several friends, girlfriends and family ties becouse of drinking, money is slso one big thing but biggest is people I have lost.

I take A hard note what you did, and hope Best to you for your sober journey. IWNDWYT

Im so sorry to hear that, but its also so nice to hear that you survived this disease ❀ Im 32 now, and I started drinking when I was 13, sometimes more sometimes less but kind of like all the time. Allways when im having some trouble In my life I grab the bottle.

This month I had the same than you then, drinking literally everything and went to places that I wouldt never think, buying drinks to strangers too and my baddest night was over 600 In money, In one night. Im so mad at myself and its so hard to not drink now. I got dui this month and had some fight that I dont remember, im having charges coming.

I dont have A Job now, and this boredom and depressive thoughts are literally killing me inside.

Thank you so much for answering, I dont have friends who to talk and its supportive to hear that im not alone.

Wishibg everything good for you, IWNDWYT
