I have never considered quitting until now, because I see clearly what I can and will lose if I continue.
I'm a binge drinker, one drink turns into 17 or 18.
I haven't had a drink for the last couple of weeks after a wake up call, I don't experience physical withdrawal but I miss the feeling.
What do you guys think I should do to make sure I stay sober? What helped you most in your recovery?
Welcome and another vote for AA. It's free. Consider checking out a few meetings. You don't have to agree with or to buy into everything you hear. However, it's a sober environment with other people who are working to stay sober. It's worth a shot.
Good luck.
