if you can train your brain to be happy with a drink you can train your brain to be happy without one. just takes time and a bit of effort. you will be a stronger person in 6 months time and look back amazed at how weak of a person you were. just tell yourself ever morning when you wake up that you wont be drinking today. There will come a time when you wont even have to tell yourself that and will just be thinking about what to have for breakfast. ive been sober for 3 weeks and my worl hasnt fell apart because i havent drank. Its actually got better. Im thinking of things to do now becaused im getting bored. Starting muay thai kick boxing next week. I would never of dreamt of doing that when i was drinking.....and thats only after 3 weeks....in a years time god knows what il be doing...will have a life most likely...stay strong and find your real self...goodluck and keep us posted
