You are the one pouring it in your mouth. Your hand, your mouth.
I was an over-emo mess when I was drinking, too. It actually got a lot worse in early sobriety. Now there is very little that bothers me. It was just a matter of letting my brain and body heal, and learning some new coping tools.
Hope isn't the action word, here. It's down to you and the decision.
Agree...it feels better to take a decisive stand against the booze. It was such a fight the first few days. It got easier though. Now, after almost 3 months sober, the desire is like a nagging annoyance. My resolve is constantly under a low intensity psychological attack. Hope is not a term I choose in this battle. Fighting for my life.
