I want to be new...to know what is so great about life without a bottle in the cabinet...how is that possible?
Well, you start right where you're at, by asking the question. You start by looking at how important alcohol really is to you and admitting that it shouldn't be that important, that you have a problem. Call it alcoholism, addiction, or whatever...... it's become a central focus in your life.
Making a decision to stop drinking is terrifying at first, so you have to break it down into minutes/hours/days. You may not be able to face the idea of a sober life, but you can get through the next few minutes without a drink. You can come here and get support any hour of the day, you can go to rehab, you can try AA or talk to a doctor.
I can tell you that sobriety is not only possible for us, it's necessary if we want to be rid of the obsession and desire that runs our lives. It's necessary if we don't want to lose everything, including our lives.
But start from where you're at and take the next right step. It's a process...... it unfolds as each step it taken.
If we can do it, you can to!
