I wasn’t going to post as sick of hearing my voice talk about this. As your aware am navigating my sober journey and initially got to 80 plus days but I didn’t go out, stripped friendships back and started to make new ones but life was lonely. Since then tried 3 drinking nights and all endeared badly. Saturday was no different this was a drink in the garden. On my second glass of Prosecco I couldn’t string a sentence together I remember thinking I can’t think straight but instead of stopping I pushed on. Resulting in my blacking out being sick all Sunday and been ill since. Why can’t I just take that last step to embrace a sober life and STOP. I look at @Scott Thomas and he makes it look so easy on nights out and things and it probably wasn’t an easy thing but my brain won’t even let me take the first step I just think I will be boring and won’t enjoy it

I'm beginning to feel like it's never going to stick. I know I would be so much better giving up alcohol completely. I can not moderate, I hate myself after I've been drinking, I hate the fact my children see me drunk and hungover. So why do I keep doing it to myself. Sorry just feeling really sorry for myself today, with the biggest hangover. I tell myself time and time again that's it no more drinking but I go 2/3 weeks and then thats it I go on a mad one and binge. Does anyone have any ways to help stop, I am desperate to stop. Thank you for listening.

Hi all after sharing my daughter was in a car accident last night my dog Maisie collapsed and she can’t walk. It is either a neurological episode or she has a tumour. I am having to look after her my baby Maisie (dog) as she has to be looked after 24 hours a day and is struggling to walk she keeps fallowing over and her eyes are rolling all the time. We back at the vets tonight if it’s an episode hospital said it will pass however if it’s a tumour she may have to be put down. Maisie is my world and a walking her is a big part of my self care. I can’t leave her to go to the gym. She can’t walk. How do I stay strong for her and my daughter.

Finally I have done a full 4 weeks sober!! I know it's not long but I've done it!! I hope I can continue 🙏

I’m having a tough week- got inflamed sinuses which is really painful. I’m also dealing with a family crisis. My sister is having a tough tough time and has tried to end it. Luckily she didn’t but I’m supporting her and my mum has obviously gone to pieces. I don’t know where to start and am so far fighting the urge to drink wine…. I want to exercise but my head hurts too much to lift weights or run. Any advice would be much appreciated. Sorry to burden you all xx
