Thanks for the reply’s thus far... I am amazed at how long I have been in denial about the booze being the main source of my problems in my life.. It’s crazy how alcohol messes with the brain.. despite all of the bad effects, I would generally feel better by Wednesday, and ready to drink by the weekend…
I have quit for a long period (1.5 years) in my mid 20’s. I had gotten an DUI and lost my job. I quit for in order to get my life back together, but slowly started back up again after that. I feel as every 6 months or so I have some sort of real bad drunken “episode”. I can’t let this happen again. I am very confident that I won’t have a problem quitting alcohol, as I feel my addiction is mental, not physical. The problem for me will be staying off the booze long term, after I start feeling better, and my brain convincing me that I can drink again. Do you know what I mean?
