For me to quit I had to accept that my relationship with alcohol was toxic and always would be.

Once you internalise that, it's pretty much a given that the simple act of deciding to drink again becomes a really loaded question (pardon the pun)

the black and white bottom line for me was:

I could drink, or I could be the man I wanted to be...but not both.

I think I chose well - and I really made use of the support here.

It meant a lot of changes sure - but there's not much worthy to hang on to from a life where you're drinking that much anyway.

I ended up a all day everyday drinker. I was that way for several years - but I just hit 10 years sober.

There's no reason why you can't do that too one day Highlonesome
