This cycle of giving in to cravings - drinking - throwing alcohol down the sink - swearing never to drink again only to be drinking 3 days later has been going on far too long.
A silver lining is I have not had any spirts for about 10 days after pouring half a bootle of Jameson’s Irish whiskey down the sink.
I had to work hard last week and felt I needed/ deserved a drink. Almost every emotion I have seems to automatically lead to a strong desire to drink, my brain seems hardwired to it.
I have work to do on this.
Hi Stable, I can relate...
Alcohol was my go-to for everything thing.
- If I felt pissed off, I wanted a drink.
- If I was happy, I wanted a drink.
- If I was sad, I wanted a drink.
- If I was bored, I wanted a drink.
- If it was raining, I wanted a drink.
- If it was sunny, I wanted a drink.
Your brain is hardwired for alcohol. So is mine. Years upon years of heavy drinking actually changes your brain chemistry. The good news is you and I can re-wire our brains over time by staying sober, but it ain't happenin' overnight.
