Hi,

Yes, wanting to stop is important, but I think you might have to let go of the comfortably numb feeling. Hopefully you can find a way to get beyond the week or two. I'm so glad you posted.

Seems that finding the root cause of that would bring quite a lot of relief. What haven't you tried to get to the bottom of your antsiness?

Yes, but wanting to stop without putting action behind it IS nothing. You get no results without action. I liked that numb feeling too but after a while I got sick to death of always being sick and drunk. I wanted more out of my life.

As much as I'd like to, I can't figure it out for you. Heck, it took 25 years for me to figure out my own issues, and I see me every day! You'd be waiting a long long time for me to figure out your issues through an internet forum.

I can only tell you that I don't think I would have ever figured it out if I had kept drinking. Being sober gave me both clarity and motivation.

Start there, and see what develops.

Best of luck!
