Hello,
I am new to the forum.
At a high-level:
I have had several personal tragedies in my life that were very difficult to cope with. And very recently I have gotten out of a relationship where the other person had narcissistic personality disorder. Unfortunately, I have turned to alcohol to relieve a lot of the stress.
My goal is to completely abstain from alcohol use - period. Obviously, there are issues that need to be accounted for and addressed in parallel of maintaining sobriety. So to get this stopped and turned around, I need to change my lifestyle, my thinking and work on my personal growth.
I look forward to learning from others, being proactive in the forums and receiving / giving support from / to others.
Thank you.
