My life now has 2 possible paths

[slidingdoorsthepathnottaken]

Path 1. Continue drinking. Will lead to total destruction.

Path 2 accept what has happened and build a new life

Acceptance is very powerful @slidingdoorsthepathnottaken.
I really really hope you can take path 2.
Any way any of us could help?

Do you have support if you choose option 2 @slidingdoorsthepathnottaken

Would you like to speak a bit about what it is you need to try and accept?

Don’t fear an alcohol free life op, it really is rather peaceful. Make sure you have a bank of other coping strategies to hand and build a support network if you don’t have one already, including medically assisted recovery if needed. Your people become your power. You can do it OP. Good luck!

Why do you need to accept what has happened OP? Is there nothing that can be done?

I vote path 2, it sounds perfect.

This was the exact realisation that led me into AA nearly 12 years ago.

If you call them now they will find a local lady who’s also in recovery who can talk to you and hopefully take you to a meeting.

You can build a new, alcohol free life OP.
Whatever has happened, you don't have to 'fix' it all today. All things can be righted and dealt with.

@slidingdoorsthepathnottaken i was reading an article about Naltrexone this morning - they likened it to Mounjaro in terms of quietening food noise but for alcohol. Is this something you could investigate on a private prescription to give you an added level of support as you start to navigate an AF life?

I hope you’re ok. Path 2 is easier with support. We can listen if you want to talk. 💐
