Before my DWI I was an all day drinker drinking am to pm. After the DWI, I detoxed at home and swore I would never drink again. Did not last. At the point now where I am very scared as to what my future will bring. I guess I should face the fact that I need to put in the work if I want to be sober. I thought I would cure myself just by wishing I did not want to drink. The fear of going to jail (on probation), is not even enough for me to stop. I am going to a meeting tonight and am terrified as to what the weekend will bring.
