SOURCE: STAT NEWS MENTAL HEALTHTITLE: STAT+: Treatment for alcohol addiction is undergoing a seismic shift. Many say it’s overdue
All Jillian wanted was to regain control of her drinking.
At 38, she knew alcohol had already cost her a marriage and begun to threaten her career. What had started as typical college-age shenanigans had morphed into regularly overindulging at professional happy hours, and eventually into an all-day urge to drink. Most days, a bottle of vodka journeyed from standing full in a cabinet to laying empty in a recycling bin.
“I got to the point where I said: Holy shit, I can’t stop on my own,” Jillian said.
Her boyfriend was at a loss. Her therapist’s harm-reduction tactics helped at times, but the relapses kept coming. And while her family doctor encouraged her attempts to cut back, he never prescribed medication that might help. In the end, Jillian took the only path she knew: She sought a local Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.
But the mutual help group didn’t do the trick, either. She found the programming too God-centric and the messaging about achieving sudden, permanent abstinence unrealistic. At several points, men aggressively pursued her and other women there, offering rides home or seeking their phone numbers under the guise of mentorship. When she did find camaraderie, it was with other attendees who met up after meetings to drink at a nearby bar.

2 years sober from alcohol... I didn't think it was possible
And I'm not sure if I could have done it without the support of my wife, my friends, and AA
My heart has been recovering and no longer need an ablation, at least for now ☺️

Big number today. I am officially 800 days sober! That's pretty cool! Still working hard at it and taking it one day at a time. But, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't extremely proud of that number. Thank you to everyone who has been there to support, encourage, and cheer me on while I continue down my path of sobriety. #Sobriety #Recovery #RecoveryPosse #NoMoreAlcohol #SoberLiving

I never thought I'd make it this far but part of me wonders if it's worth it considering all of the hate and terror organizations out there and no rights to our own bodies. The men, the Christian's, and the nazi groups, I'm scared to leave the house; might be a good time to pick up drinking again.

I got 1/4 through a Shirley temple before i realized it didn't taste right
I was served an alcoholic drink when I asked for a non alcoholic drink
245 days of sobriety just got ruined and it wasn't my choice 💔
I'm struggling to fight the urge to start sobbing in the club
