Tomorrow I'm going to see my doc to get the help I need to stop drinking. I'm done with nearly killing myself.

May alcohol weep in your presence, knowing it can not control you.

Asking for help was the hardest step for me. That was 21 years ago. You can do this. Do it for You.

Sober almost 8 years here ... there is a healthier happier version of you just waiting to come out. Take it 1 day at a time.

Good job! First step which most people ignore and taking further steps and instead is: the will to help yourself

It’s the first step in a new life. Stick with it. It can take some time to sort things out.

164 days today. 1 month in rehab house. Months of treatment after. BE SELFISH IN YOUR RECOVERY. THIS IS FOR YOU. Remember that. Please.

Rehab goes forward and backwards. Everyone's looks different, but the stories you hear will all sound like you talking. You will feel -

"Sure but I know better/not me!" everyone does. That's ok. You can feel that way. Just remember that you read this all, and you'll be fine.

Thankyou everyone of you. The hardest part has been admitting it openly to my parents with whom I'm now staying.

You need medical help to withdraw and the help of your parents. You can do this. The first week is hell then it gets easier. Lots of water.

I remember it well. Honour them with your sobriety. They'll be proud for sure.

I put myself out there VERY publicly. It helped me with accountability. You're friends, even drinking ones, may be you're best support.

2/2 to rehab for 30 days, then another 4 days in a mental health facility to figure out how to treat my depression. A few slips but I’m good

2 years 7 months since I asked for help. There’s strength in knowing you can’t do it yourself, and reaching out. You’ve got this.

I went off the deep end especially bad with booz from Jan to April. I've been sober for a good 3 months and finally able to lose some weight
