I also drank and didn't enjoy it.
But I didn't think I could face my life without alcohol's numbing effect.
I finally got to the moment when I wanted to be sober
more than I wanted to drink, and then, with great effort, I was able to stay sober.
It took a lot of deliberate effort to just
not drink at first. I was very aware that I was 'not drinking'. After a few months sober, I still wasn't 'feeling it'. I was advised to start practicing gratitude every day. It was hard at first cause I was so depressed, but it got easier to be grateful and easier to remain sober.
I was a chronic relapser and I finally got serious and now I am over 10 yrs sober.
If I can do it, so can you!
