hi TrySober
Welcome to SR!
How can I be me and not drink beer?
Yep. That was me. Beer was Dee - it was part of who I was - it went basically everywhere with me that I could get away with it.
When that became harder and harder - cos I was drinking more and more - I just stayed home.
Eventually I drank all day everyday,,,and eventually I had to quit - it was either that, or die.
I was scared of who I'd be too - but the thing is, I actually became me again. A me I'd forgotten about...a me who existed before I started drinking, but with the added experience and wisdom that comes from lots of mistakes LOL.
And he's a guy I kinda like
What everyone else says is spot on...forever can be just too big to get your head around...and it needn't be any more complicated, or 'big' than not drinking today.
No matter what anyone else tells you I reckon that's all any of us can do
I hope you check in more than occasionally - this is a great place for support.
Good to have you with us
