hello ( ´ ∀ `)ノ～ ♡ My name is Lyndsay, I am recently trying to be sober, at first I was trying to just handle it with moderation, but quickly discovered that was not going to work with the state of mind i started trying to quit in. I do feel like i will eventually have subtle drinks in my future, although they will only be on events where I feel i can control myself. Next weekend is my birthday and im very nervous because i am probably going to drink, but i have to promise myself that it will only be a light light amount. My parents were very influential alcoholics throughout my childhood but my mother recently was told she was going to die if she continued to drink so she stopped and it was very difficult. But i do have her support in quitting. It just feels like every time i tell her im going to quit and need her help, i end up relapsing and at this point i just think her excitement for me stopping has diminished. Anyway, I just updated my app and visited it for the first time since i last relapsed, but I am at 2 weeks and 6 days sober. Good luck everyone and I would love to hopefully be able to chat and get to know you guys better! ❤️ I posted this in the chat but I figured i’d make a post too since I just now saw this portion! :))
