If you are having trouble staying sober, keep trying. Never give up!
Yup this was me. I was mentally and physically exhausted of being sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Something just clicked in my brain and I realized that in order to stop this cycle I had to change ME.
At that point I was willing to do ANYTHING to stay sober. Counselling, daytox, AA, absolutely anything and with an open mind. I have so gone out of my comfort zone.
I have to put as much effort into staying sober as I did into staying drunk. And I put a lot of effort into staying drunk. It was exhausting! All the things I wasn't willing to do in the past I turned it around and asked myself "if I would have had to do this to get my booze would I have done it?" and the answer was always yes. If I am willing to do it for the booze I have to be willing to do it to stay sober. That is basically what sealed the deal for me.
