I tried to cut back when I admitted to myself that I didn’t drink like normal people did, but it wasn’t to 🅾️. Then overtime I admitted to myself that I was an alcoholic and had no control over it, and it had control over me. I tried every which way but loose to cut back to 🅾️, but like a good alcoholic, I didn’t ask for help. I didn’t ask for help because it would be a commitment and I wasn’t desperate enough to make that commitment. I was still in the grips of my addiction. Well, luckily, I became desperate enough before alcohol completely destroyed my life. I humbled myself to accept help and I was willing to do anything it took to cut my drinking to 🅾️. The rest is history and I’m a happy, joyous and free recovering alcoholic. 🥳😁

It is indeed a slippery slope. I’ve had extreme social anxiety as far back as I can remember. I drank to calm my nerves, too. It was very hard to talk, much less talk about my problem with alcohol. The first time I said I was an alcoholic in a meeting, I shook for what seemed like hours. But I kept going back and talking became easier. Now I can be a motor mouth about alcohol, no holds barred, here or in real life. It would have been great to have a community like this before I had the courage to ask for help in real life. I may have asked for help sooner. You’re working toward a goal and it’s a great goal. Be kind to yourself.
