Good evening all... just putting in my daily 2 cents. Another 24 hours without poisoning my body. I'll take it and be grateful
Also, to the nice person that sent me a PM -- I will gladly reply to you directly in more detail once I have 5 posts. But, to briefly reply here: how I didn't drink for 6 months (and actually for a period of 6 years before that) is that I tried to find tools and adjust myself so that the pain of drinking was always greater than the pain of not drinking. The problem with that plan (or the simply beauty of it) is, when you stop working on it -- it stops working on you. No matter what route you choose for your sobriety, I have found in mine that it is only a daily reprieve.
The bottom line is, I'm here to make a better life for me and my loved ones. And a relapse isn't enough to make me quit on them or quit on me.
Thanks everyone for being here
