well then for the love of all that is holy.... QUIT DRINKING!!!
It's really that simple. But it's not easy.
For me, an important shift in finally getting it and improving my life immeasurably was moving my focus from "quitting drinking" to "embracing sobriety".
It really made a huge difference for me.
AA, this forum, counseling, exercise, changes in lifestyle.... journaling... lots of tools have gone into my journey of sobriety but probably the greatest asset has been choosing to see it not as something I had to stop, something I had to lose out on, something I had to never do again - but as something I really wanted as a basis for a life of joy and goodness.
welcome.
