Nothing pathetic about 16 days. I know for sure that took willpower, so it’s a start.
I’m not sure Campril worked physically. It was just such a palaver to get, it was the last straw. If anything it was a placebo. I also started on alcohol free beer. I get slightly irritated when this is demonised as it’s a far lesser evil. I had a mini family emergency of day 55 and would’ve certainly drank but I was fine after downing a couple of cans of alcohol free beer.
It doesn’t have to be the gym by the way, although it has to be something. Someone once told me they had no time for the gym, but they found the time to drink. You could do any activity that doesn’t involve drinking.
Not saying my life’s perfect, if only, but luckily I knew drinking was going to kill me and it had robbed me of 15 years. I really got my confidence back by being a non-drinker. You can too if you find a useful activity to allow you to forget the urges for a few hours
