Hi all, I didn’t know where else to post this, but I wanted to share.

TW: alcohol, dead parents

I’ve been using alcohol as a coping mechanism for years. Lately I stopped keeping track of how much alcohol I’ve had every night. I’ve been binge drinking by myself every night after my husband goes to sleep.

So I decided to go sober before it got worse. My dad died of alcoholism, and I didn’t want to end up like he did.

It’s been about a week. It’s hard, but it’s possible.
