Hi, my name is NoRetreat70, and I am an alcoholic
new, just signed up today. Never tried anything like this before. Never tried to honestly quit before. almost 3 days sober. Now the clarity of vision, remembering arguments that made sense to me at the time, the little attitudes... even when I overcame most of the anger, I was still sometimes a drunk *****. I lost so much... I stand to lose almost everything I hold dear in my life. The pain and the anxiety of withdrawal hurts, the pain and anxiety of the others I have hurt only makes it more palpable. I have no urge to drink, but my body does. I can not, WILL not go back. I will die before I allow it. But I know, now more than ever, I can't tough man this alone. I have read a few good posts on here already. The greatest gift I can give to my loved ones right now is hope, I am here to help find a little bit more of that for myself to give. Bless you all for sharing what has helped.
