1st day (again) quitting alchohol. I began drinking daily not long after turning 21. I always told myself growing up I wouldnt let this be me, but with a 6 year DV relationship and escaping (and returning and escaping again a few times), free access to drinking to forget all the hurt, here I am. Many things happened this last few years, which I used as my excuse to not prioritize sobriety. I felt that since I was 🍇ed, then my step dad and multiple friends died, all happening after the other, that I deserved the escape. So many things in my life are starting to turn, and I want to nurture that by quitting my drinking and avoiding sending myself into a hole of despair again. I really hope I can keep this up, because I have so many healthy relationships that i feel will suffer if I dont get this under control.
