My drinking started in the military and continued after I got out. I am now three weeks sober. I have quit multiple times in the past. Last year I quit for 6 months and relapsed when I got layed off right before Christmas. I know alcohol makes me feel good at first but after to many drinks I start reliving my trauma and become very upset with life. After getting layed off I could have avoided alcohol but in my head it gave me an excuse to relapse if I’m being honest. After 3 weeks I’m starting to feel back to my normal self again and loving my life. Anybody feel the same?
