If you're like me, you have to get to a point where continuing to drink is scarier than giving up drinking.
It could be health problems that scare you, loss of career, family, legal issues but it has to be something.
It was health problems for me. But I will tell you that I could not stop one day before I was more scared of continuing to drink than giving it up and doing whatever I could to stay sober.
I had a rather serious diagnosis from my dr. to scare me but trust me, you don't have to drink until something really bad happens. It would have been much easier to stop a few years ago.
Which is scarier to you: Continuing to drink or stopping drinking completely? Really think about it.
I am no expert on sobriety and if you would have asked me this question in May, I would have said that I was more scared of stopping than continuing. In June I was brought to my knees and the scales shifted. Only then was I able to stop drinking.
