Every hour feels like a day.. But every hour is an accomplishment that I didn't ingest anymore beer... Sheesh if only it could be 6 months from now already. But I know I have to take it a day or an hour at a time.

We've all been there! Sometimes even a minute feels like an hour! Keep your eye on the prize!

If drinking is a problem for you then don't drink....

And that's why I am quitting drinking

Did you quit drinking on your first attempt?

dthalez

I had a first attempt about 7 months ago. I relapsed. But now I am trying again and I am more serious than I have ever been in my life. Drinking was making me sick. I am just waiting for the withdrawals to be over so I can start my life again.

It will get better I promise.

I know it sounds like a cliche, but keeping occupied helps.
It helped me.

In 14 days it will be a year since I had a drink but it still occupies space in my head. I still think about it.
I don't crave alcohol but I just think about it for example what would it feel like to have a drink after so long, how many days have I done know, what are other people drinking, and so on and so on.

I don't know maybe drinking is deeply ingrained in our cultures, it occupies a lot of space in our heads.

I'm not having a good day today either.
I just wanted to make you feel a bit better.

Quitting drinking and staying quit is one thing ....

For a lot of us the trick is learning to live sober, to be comfortable in our own skin.

I couldn't accomplish this until I surrendered to Alcoholics Anonymous.

All the best.
