7days

[Usernamehere]

So it's been 7 days since I decided I needed to stop binge drinking. I do not drink everyday but when I do start drinking I cannot stop and just drank to a point I blacked out, woke up in the morning and saw the cringey messages or other shit I did the night before. Alcoholism runs in my family on both sides so having a drink was pretty much the norm. Anyways after my relationship broke down with my son's dad I think I did turn to beer to help. Got myself stuck in this shit cycle of being depressed or bored, drinking, blacking out, waking up, regret and embarrassment. Then I would promise myself never again and 3 days later would be doing it all over again. So enough is enough and I'm now 7 days sober. It's weekend and it's probably going to be a tester but I can do this. Anyone else relate to what I'm going through?

Seven days is great, well done! I used to drink too much and I remember all the self loathing. I don't drink at all now, and I don't miss it at all, in fact exactly the opposite, I'm glad to be free from it all. I sometimes go out when other people are drinking but mostly I do other things for my social life and it feels like the drinking me was a completely different person and I can't imagine I was ever her. Good luck, there are so many good things about not drinking!
