My latest effort at stopping drinking started with a desire to just stop. Not forever, I just needed to stop then, so knew I could. Eventually I did. Committed to not drinking today. Got into routine but didn't really vomit to "never again".
After 4 months of sobriety I thought I would give the poison another chance. A week later, I was wondering why on earth I would allow myself to feel so awful. Especially after 4 months of clean living, exercise, eating and sleeping well. Why trade that for the consequences of drinking.
I never wanted to feel hungover again. That could only happen if I made the decision to never drink again.
As someone else mentioned(doggonecarl) it was a paradigm shift in my journey. Hangovers are no longer possible because drinking is completely off he table for good. And I feel great.
