I want to stop. Day One. Again.

This is very, very hard. I'm very anxious and sort-of hyperactive today.

And it's only been 12 hours!!!

Good Lord! Does it get easier?

IT WILL!! Drink something you normally wouldn't. A glass of water, soda, eat veggies, anything to take your mind off from it. Stay with it and keep posting.

warrens · 05-09-2008, 10:36 AM

Yes, ZuZu, because I care...

Previously, if I remember correctly, you were a bit ambivalent as to whether you needed to stop or simply reduce your consumption. You seemed to hope for the latter. I'm just wondering what has changed, that's all.

I think all of us in recovery can write a book as to why we chose to do it. Because it is something that we struggled with for so long it wasn't something we arrived at casually.

Please don't take my words as condescending or inflammatory. I simply want you to succeed. And I think that in order to do so, you will need deep conviction and a sense that you have no other recourse.

All the best to you. I am just one here who is cheering you on. I am sober today because I daily ask myself "why?"

the desire is in you to stop, It's in all of us, but Hon
to be Honest It's a star, but you going to need to do more
then that if you really want this, you star it Good by making
that decision of getting rid of whats toxic in your home
but now you need to see a doc promptly and see what he
has to say and send you to a Detox,refer of course with his
knowledge if you really want sobriety thats my advice
to you It
s not easy but It's not Impossible,what became Impossible was
living in that insanity of using and drinking and expecting
different results that was crazy so God Bless you on your
Decision

Yes

and even if it takes day one again and again...keep trying because you will find the miracle happen. You can do it.

There is a bottle of wine sitting on my table (was a gift to my wife from work)
I have no desire to open it and if/when it gets opened, I can sit there as other drink it and still stay sober.
It does get easier.

Got it! I definitely did not want to give up my wine, but, frankly, cutting back is already not working out so well, and I'm tired of how much space it is taking up in my life - emotionally, physically, financially.

It's going to mean HUGE changes for me, but after nightmaring about my daughter and waking up totally PARCHED the other night, I'm wondering, "What in the HELL am I doing?"

I still owe the wine store about $1500.00, and this is totally stupid.
