Shit, I can't even kick energy drinks for a week. Let alone beer for 5 or 10 years. Sounds like you got will power my man.

Experience tells me never say never. However today is a good day not to drink if I can go 24 hours without a drink then I went a day tomorrow will be another day but I'm not worried about tomorrow and yesterday is in the past today is a present.


I can only quit one day at a time that's all we have maybe just procrastinate until cravings go away.



God bless.

Also when craving hits eat some chocolate just a suggestion Oreo cookies are good give yourself a treat.

Hey Red.

Man, we've been talking about this subject here and there for 15 years. It's a progressive disease.

I've been sober 18 months. For me its really about how I feel and my emotional triggers, rather than fighting cravings. For me alcohol was a habit. Sobriety is a lifestyle.

I'm here to talk any time you need it, buddy. You cannot do this alone. Good for you for being honest about it and for reaching out like this. It takes a lot of will and courage.

Thanks friends, all of this is very positive. My first night I basically didn't sleep and did have some light anxiety. I will sleep tonight. I will get to an additional solution, but for this week, I just want to get to next week. Then I'll look into some added support. I feel I'll sleep tonight, actually.

Ty all so very much!

You having any other withdrawal symptoms?

Red, it may take a couple of days for the insomnia and anxiety to go away. You can try a natural sleep supplement, like Melatonin, and see if that helps.

The best thing is waking up in the morning with a clear head and not feeling like shit...and for me, not having the runs. :D

Yeah - anxiety is mostly gone - or at least hasn't surfaced today, yet. I literally didn't sleep last night though.

Good work! :clap: :clap:

Glad to hear no other withdrawal symptoms to report. From what I understand, they can be nasty.

If my dick puking-up DNA is a sign of having a drinking problem, I feel sorry for my liver...

If you've been able to quit drinking for years, then quitting is not your issue.

Be honest with yourself and try to identify the TRIGGER that pushes you back, and eventually out of control and in the same hole.

Find out what that is and take THAT to God and ask for help in defeating it.

God Knows the desires of your heart. He can and will help you.

Finally, seek His favor, rather than favor of men.( though it always helps to have the support of family and friends, no doubt!)

P..S I'm VERY confident you can achieve this.

I know you were into working out for a while. For many with addictive personalities, this can be a lifelong healthy choice.

Once you start seeing positive changes in your body, along with the endorphin rush of working out, it's a positive change for your entire life and CAN replace some of those feelings/cravings you get for booze.

I've seen many a drug addict or alcoholic replace substance with exercise. It's not all you'll have to do, but it's a good place to start along with counseling and/or classes.
