Just the fact that you have identified the problem and are taking steps in the right direction speaks volumes about your character...
I wish I had your courage kid; I have zero doubt you'll overcome whatever is forcing this internal behavior... Chin up... |

Is that why u were trying to get ahold of me? If so I feel bad for not answering I prefer texting. You got this man! What's helped me is just limit yourself as much as possible it's gotten easier.

Good on you for battling this head-on SR. I grew up with an alcoholic in my household but the good news was that they too admitted their struggle and battled through ups and downs, but eventually conquered. One day at a time. You obviously have support here!

_______________________________ <— Guys, see that avatar? That’s what being an addict did for me. YOU GUYS DO NOT want to go through what I have been. ‘03 Thanksgiving weekend, Oregon coast sand dunes, ATV accident. In the hospital about to be checked out and was paged to see the counselor. She had set up times for me to start attending AA. I told her I wasn’t going to any meetings She says well your wife said you’d drink a six to half rack of beer every night? I’m like, “So?” Blah, blah. So I says to her, “Have u ever been paralyzed?” “Well...no” she says looking at me funny. I said, “Well I have/am. I AM NEVER DRINKING again.” Sounds like bs but I’ve done it. Totally different BUT had you, (or you drinkers out there), continue you could end up in my shoes or worse. What if your drinking causes someone harm or worse yet someone you love. Had the gallon jug of water by my bedside, every morning I’d wake up swearing to myself, “never again, o boy I’m done drinking....no way.” Fast forward to 3pm-6pm and I’m constantly looking at my phone checking the time thinking, “man, we gotta hurry up. That qwikshop I use closes at 6. I’ll have to go outta the way a bit.....that’s ok, their beer is colder.” And the cycle just continues....... Everyone says to PM them. What are you gonna say, lol? It’s important that we just listen and not tell them what they should be doing, etc. Eventually, us addicts will open up. _____ I truly meant that 1st post, don’t know you but wished we could meet somehow, lol. Hey, if you fall off the wagon....so what. As it’s rolling away, shove a stick thru the rear wheels spokes. That’ll stop that sucker, lol. “ALL ABOARD!!!” |

Maybe you’ll laugh at this but I wanted to stop drinking coke when I hit 35. I love that shit. So one day I decided to leave a can out in the heat for a couple hours, back deck. Popped that sucker and guzzled it. Hot and nasty.
Burned that image in my head and taste buds. I don’t ever crave it anymore thinking about that hot can of crap. |

Best wishes. I've never struggled with alcoholism, but I definitely have an addictive personality. If you've had periods of 5 and 10 years you've been sober you can certainly kick it for good.
