What it was like?

I held down a job (barely) but was literally constantly hungover and puking at work. It got to the point that every waking moment I want at work i was chugging beers and shots. I'd wake up on the weekends, holidays and pto days and immediately start drinking. I mean 6am, shots of Jack chased with beer. Finished off anything left from the night before including any kind of alcohol my husband had.

What happened?

After multiple failed attempts to "take a break " I started to realize, i might not have control of this. I got scared. My husband told me I was getting hard to be around, he wasn't sure if he could keep loving the drunk me. I made a commitment to myself, I had to prove that I was in control. I only intended to take a break, with plans to celebrate me proving I have control of my drinking by drinking on st patty's day. But after a month I knew I was definitely done drinking forever.

What it is like now?

I've never been more proud or happy to talk about anything in my whole life. I love sharing my story with hopes of helping somebody, anybody, in any way.
