I have tried to quit many times and I remember day 5 being the hardest because despite how violently ill I had been, by day 5 all was forgotten. My trick was to " play the tape through" or recall the continuous vomiting and diarrhoea and remember how guilty and worthless I felt after a binge. Every time I drank I would become very very sick. Eventually you have to say enough, it's over as the alternative could literally be death
