Trying to quit Drinking is hard
Reasons I want to quit.
My marriage hurts when I drink.
I am sure it is hurting my health.
I am convicted by the Holy Spirit to quit, and cannot stand before God when I drink.
I am studying to be a pastor at a seminary.
So... How do I start. Things I've tried
I told my wife I had snuck alcohol and she got pretty mad. I have told her before that I was trying to quit and at this point she is losing hope in me. She is pretty sick of dealing with it at all.
I have a good friend who can keep me accountable and has been, but it doesn't really help a ton.
I've never done AA or anything like it but may consider it, although I am incredibly busy with studies. Help me!
