For those who quit for 3 days then go back
I just had this thought, this epiphany. Thought I'd share.
I remember posting here a couple of years ago, maybe 2? About how I was going to quit. I think I got 2, maybe 3 days and then drank again. Maybe not even that.
So I was thinking, what was different about that time vs. now? Well, I didn't tell anyone! I told you all here, but that's pretty anonymous. I didn't tell my husband I was going to quit, the one I spend most of my time with. I didn't tell anybody.
For me personally, I needed accountability. I had to tell my husband I needed help in quitting and couldn't stop drinking once I started. That was the key. After I pretty much bared my soul to him, I couldn't very well drink on day 2. That's how I thought about it anyway.
Hope this helps someone out there.
