If I continued to drink what would happen to me? I would lose my daughter for a start. Alienate all my friends and family. Lose my job. Drink drive . Physically attack someone. May even kill someone. Go insane. Get locked up, either in jail or mental asylum, die from an alcohol related disease or accident or kill myself.
I don't know if they would all happen. Maybe I would kill myself before I lost my job? Or maybe I would kill someone and avoid jail time by killing myself. Who knows? I am glad I am now in recovery and will never have to find that out.
What I DO know for sure is that no one could stop me drinking until I was ready to do it. For me.
Look after yourself. Because the alcoholic/addict in your life sure as hell won't.
