We all have trouble hitting the off switch, but trust me, it is do-able and a great life improvement in all ways. It does take some getting used to, cant lie, but once you get used to not drinking, life is so much simpler. Not all rainbows, but better. So much better.

After you did the 10 days, what made you want to drink?

For me, it was usually either "I got this" or when I was facing something I wanted to control but could not. But that is me.

I had to accept emotionally that I could never drink again, no matter what. That acceptance was the key for me. I did not do anything formal except a great online program called Hip Sobriety and a lot of time here. But that is me -- you are you, but my theory is that everyone knows what they need to do -- doing it is harder.

You got this.
