JUst wanted to hear from others who know theyve needed to quit for some time, but still dont have that "want to" -- yet.

Its New Years Day and I didnt drink yesterday/last night, cuz i didnt feel like it. TOday I woke up and "felt like it"... on my 6 pack right now.

If you be alcoholic, there may be a point in your life when you want to quit, but can't !

I was there, it's not fun. If you think you have a problem, nip it in the butt now, before you have to go through what a lot of us did. Please.

Good Luck and God Bless

Nuudawn

I reached a point where I wanted to quit more than I wanted to drink. My life had become that unliveable, my hope was gone, my emotions were out of control...life was simply no fun anymore. Even wonderful experiences did nothing to nourish my soul cuz I drank my way through them.

All the best,

Hi overcome...Sharon and Alcoholic here.

By the Grace of my HP and people like
u here in SR i havent had a drink of alcohol
since 8-11-90.

For that im truely grateful.


We do get sick and tired of
being sick and tired. Right?

I did and didnt want to quit so
many times to fail. What a roller
coaster of a ride i was on....Id
vow never to drink again after
I had a horrible accident back in
Feb. 90. I spent 10 days in the
hospital with them removing
my punctured spleen are i would
have bled to death...boy was i a
mess....numerous broken ribs and
bones, contutions, almost ripped
my chin from my face...torn a chunk
off my forehead...

All was mended and i healed nicely.

No drinking for the next few months
as i thought i had learned my lesson.

Well..Aug. 90...i was back at the same
local watering hole coming home late
to another arguement to justify why i
stayed out late AGAIN.

This time i wanted to end my life.

Today i think back to that time and can
see the rapid progression of my disease
of alcoholism with in a short amt. of time.

Simplely amazing.

My family stepped in and did an intervention
on me to save my life. I entered rehab via
the back seat of a handless police car.

ANGRY, HURT, ASHAMED...how could they
do this to little ol me...i couldnt hurt a
fly....

I spent 28 days in rehab recieveing the
tools and knowledge of my disease and
with the DESIRE and WILLINGNESS to
go to any lengths to stay sober I havnt
had a drink for 16 yrs now....


I will say that miracles do happen...i am
amongst many who have tried to quit
drinking on my own and it failed.

My belief in a Power Greater than I is
forever guiding me in the direction of
His Will and not mine.

Alcohol is POSION to me...All i see
on those pretty bottles r skulls and
cross bones...To drink for me would
mean to either get totally wasted,
go completely crazy or DIE....

For me there isnt enough alcohol
in this world to satisfy my craving
for it....one drink would NEVER
be enough for me.

As a program of suggestions only...

As was suggested to me countless times
before...go to 90 meetings in 90 days and
if u havent heard anything to convience
u that u have a drinking problem then they
will gladly refund ur misery.

What else do u have to loose?

Your life?

Thanks for letting share.

Just keep doing it until you can't. Hope you live through it.
