As a recovered alcoholic I won’t advise you on this, but I will share my experience on each point:
[QUOTE=vulcan30;6726369]
People might be ambivalent because they may also see costs in stopping drinking. Common fears might include;
- How wil I cope with bars, pubs and party's and not feeling like I'm being deprived Fine
- What will I do if I can't go to pubs and bars, I don't want to be a hermit & have no social life. [COLOR="Lime"]I can go anywhere I please[COLOR="lime"]
- Will I lose friends? Will people think I'm boring? How will I explain to friendsno, no and with honesty.
- How will I cope with boredom and loneliness?There will not be enough hours in the day
- Will life without drinking be a constant battle against cravings?No, the problem has been completely removed
That has been my experience.
