I made the decision to stop drinking in 2020. After a few failed attempts, I realised that this was my last real opportunity to join a day treatment program. I didn’t know if I would be able to do it, but I told myself I would see through the required 2 weeks full time attendance. I have never regretted giving myself this chance.
I started drinking in my early teens - at first to help me be more confident in social situations and then, I now know, to numb myself from all the emotion. What the emotion was, didn’t matter. I just didn’t want to feel any of it.
This journey hasn’t been easy but it has definitely been worth it. I found that the very thing I was avoiding, was what I needed the most and that’s connection. Meaningful connections and that’s what Bee Sober provides in bucket loads.
I’m still finding out who I am - who knew I would want to swim every day?!
