Welcome!

BTW, once You realize WE control our arms, legs, hands, feet and mouth, it’s totally doable. Easy? Oh God, no!

impossible you say, I disagree.

the hardest part is figuring out YOUR recipe for success. The common thread is that WE are in control BEFORE we take that first drink, not after. So no first drinks.

So whether it’s AA, SMART, SR, just yourself, AVRT, a combo of all the above, idk. Some people feel comfortable believing that their addiction is a disease, others feel addiction is just that-addiction to an addictive substance.

When I quit smoking cigs in 1987, I just new that I wanted to be a non smoker, and there were happy former smokers and happy never smokers. I really wanted that freedom from the chains more than I wanted to cave to my lizard brain. I believed in myself.

For me, alcohol is a little more complicated, but I WILL NOT CAVE OR BELIEVE THE LIES THE BEAST TELLS ME IN MY OWN VOICE.

i wish you the best 🤓❤️
