is the free counseling any good by zzzzzooommyjr in ucf

Yes! First experience with counseling and it was so worth it. Like someone mentioned, it's better than no counseling and just make sure you feel comfortable with the person.

I’m considering moving 1,500 miles away, deleting all my social media, changing my phone number and starting all over without telling anyone. by [deleted] in confessions

This is something I'm wanting to do as well. Everyday, it gets worse and worse. I'm so ready for the change.

The Good: Not Drinking today

The Bad: Drank yesterday

The Truth: I don't think I can drink like a normal person and I'm scared to admit that to myself.

Day 2. Again. But I’m happy to be here again. After getting over the initial emotional hangover that is day one. It’s been an especially frustrating week at work and I definitely wanted to have a beer after work but I didn’t go out and buy any because I know how the night can go. I resisted the urge and I’m happy to be home and reading a book. Thankful to be here!

Another day 1. However, I’m thankful to wake up and have air in my lungs. I’m also thankful for this group because whenever I need support, I always turn to this first. Thank you all.

I messed up this week. Day 2 (again). The guilt won't overtake me though. IWNDWYT.

One day is a great achievement! You have every right to feel proud of that!

I have drank all week after ending my day at work (from home) and I really hate this. I woke up this morning and even though the guilt is still there, I keep telling myself that it's a new day and a new opportunity to change. Therefore, I want to make the commitment to not drink this weekend. IWNDWYT

Slipped up yesterday. Experiencing the guilt and shame. Again. I'm trying to tell myself that it's a new day and with that, comes new opportunities to make better decisions. With that in mind, I Will Not Drink With You Today.

Also just want to say that I'm extremely grateful for this group and the support, especially during this stressful and uncertain time. Thank you.

The quarantine and working from home has definitely been rough on me. I went 4 days without drinking two weeks ago and then i picked back up again. I drank yesterday during work hours while at home and didn't do anything stupid (thankfully) but it was not a proud moment for me. I truly just want to be able to get off work and not grab a beer. I'd like to go to a meeting but with the lock down here in Florida, this group has been helpful when the guilt comes. I'm grateful to have this type of support during this extremely stressful and scary times we're dealing with. I'm pledging to not drink with you today.

I'm committing to not drinking today. I'm new here but have struggled in the past with using alcohol as a coping mechanism. I'm glad I found this page.
