I quit drinking repeatedly for decades. I thought that when I wanted to get sober - like really really wanted to get sober - the desire to drink would simply disappear. I would even buy my alcohol in one-day supplies - because
tomorrow might be the day I wake up with no desire to drink. A lightening bolt would come in the middle of the night and miracle my butt sober.
It.
Doesn't.
Work.
Like.
That.
My brain was addicted to alcohol. The only way to kill that desire to drink was to starve it. It takes months, but it works.
While you're starving your addiction work on building a sober life. It is well worth it.
Congrats on 6 days! You can do this!
