Something that stops me giving it up for good.......
I have noticed many alcoholics admit that they are stopped drinking when drinking stopped working for them. When they could no longer enjoy the positive feelings from alcohol. The euphoria that one gets from drinking. Well, since I can still experience that, in my mind, it makes it hard for me to accept giving it up since I can still enjoy myself when drinking and getting drunk. This is a huge trigger for me. Ive been drinking since my teens, around 15 years of age. And am now 30 so don't know if it will stop anytime soon. I am a also a binge drinking alcoholic and not an everyday alcoholic so don't know if that will prolong this. Or if some alcoholics can achieve the pleasure from alcohol for life. So yeah, that is one of my struggles with stopping for good. Sure there are consequences from living my life this way but I seem to also have a strong pain threshold.
