I have not drank in almost 3 months without a program.
I agree w/ TU. I quit drinking, then I started dealing w/problems.
I would never have dealt w/ them if I continued to drink. I had to get my head out of LaLa land first.
All it took for me was making the decision that I would do whatever it took to stay sober. I wanted sobriety more than air.
And I tried to stop for 2 yrs before I got to that point.
I will not drink ever again. Alcohol is not an option for me. Period.
