SR I only wish you the best in your journey to sobriety. I have lost a couple of people I love due this issue. Stay strong and may God bless you.

Hang in there. Seek out some treatment soon, or at the very least - go to an AA meeting. Bear in mind if your physical addiction to alcohol is bad enough withdrawal can be dangerous.. Speaking from experience, days 4-8 will be the toughest.

I have a friend who was in the same situation. He's been sober, now, for twenty years and recently commented about how grateful he is to be sober. He's enjoying family and life.
You can do this. Hopefully, you have a nonjudgmental support group you can lean on and who will lovingly hold you accountable. Congratulations on your decision. I'm rooting for you! |

I highly recommend attending AA. It's good that you can talk to us about it, and, of course, we all wish you luck, but it's going to take people who are real to you to help hold you accountable, and they'll have a firsthand understanding of what you're going through each step of the way. We can offer encouragement, but they can offer advice worth taking and support.

One day, one hour, one minute, one second at a time. When you want to drink, write down when, why and where you are. Find an new interest, volunteer yourself to helping others. Finding something to fill the void left by the habit of drinking will really help.
Good habits are hard to make and bad habits are hard to break. You can do it, lean on family and friends when you need it. |
