It sounds like you’re headed in the right direction. If you see your bad habits, you can address them and move forward. I stopped drinking for similar reasons. I had been drinking to deal with stress and push down guilt. I’m not telling you to stop or anyone else, but you’ll know what’s right for you. Something that worked for me, I waited a few months before I told anyone I stopped. I didn’t want the pressure of saying “I quit” and just drink again in a few days. I just told myself I’d see how I felt and then when things got better for me, I started to tell my friends and family. I’m happy you have a place like this. I was a huge lurker on T_D and was in fear I’d be somehow doxxed and lose my job. I’m grateful for these smart people to have the foresight to create this site.
Mine too!
