I know that sometimes I can't stop myself from buying more after I start drinking, but sometimes I can. A few times last week, I only had 1 pint or 1 tall boy of beer. I was actually able to control myself... So what if I can control myself today...? What if I can drink those two tall boys and stop...?
I think you will still feel bad, anxious, and uneasy, because you now know you are an alcoholic and want to stay sober. It won't be fun tomorrow.

The first week is so hard. It does get easier - it truly does. But you have to grit your teeth and start stringing consecutive days together for that to happen.
