I couldn't stop either. It took years to get 7 months sober. I slept a lot, ate what I wanted, posted on here, and started going to AA (even though I hated it at first). I wrote three things I was grateful for, 3 times a day. I picked up a real book to read at night because I couldn't sleep due to my brain's constant chatter (and it was loud and annoying). I only thought about the day I was in. I refused to say "I'll never drink again". As the days added up, these annoying symptoms slowly went away. I want you to do this. You aren't missing anything by not drinking. All your self esteem, acceptance, and stress issues will lessen or disappear...you just have to give yourself time to heal. I already know you can do this, what I'm hoping for is that you try.
