I could have written that myself. I had a very similar experience. I can't tell you how many days started with me dumping all my booze down the sink and ended with me in a drunken stupor.

The days I didn't drink were spent with this battle in my head no one else could hear. One side arguing that I need to stop drinking, the other side arguing just one more day... just a few... you can drink a little...just be more careful, etc. I thought I was losing my mind.

Turns out I was addicted to alcohol, and that battle in my head space was a byproduct of that addiction.

I found a better way. You can, too.

Welcome to the fight of your life. Best of Luck on Your Journey.
