I’m 27/m, I started drinking 4 years ago everyday because of the sciatica in my left leg. I would’ve gotten healthcare but I don’t have insurance so I turned to drinking as a way to kill the pain. I became a full blown alcoholic as soon as I realized it could numb the pain somewhat. Now I’m 4 months sober and quitting was a bitch and I wish I could explain how I quit and how going through the withdrawals was but all I can say is that with my moms support and me finally realizing that if I kept down this path I wouldn’t only be destroying my own life but the lives around me with my shitty behavior. I started stealing, I started doing everything I could for money for alcohol, even stealing from my own disabled dad and that’s when I self reflected after years of this I just told my self enough is enough, I either fucking die a loser alcoholic or I get on my feet and finally make my parents and god fucking proud of me. I know everyone is here to do amazing things no matter what you believe in, it all starts with believing you can have it. Please get sober if you’re thinking about it, your life will change for the better and you can be happy.
