Don't want to drink anymore.
I am new again to this community. I started here about a year ago and that didn't work for me. I continued to drink. I do not want to drink any more and can go days without drinking then I make a bad choice to have one which turns into many. I don't want to go to treatment but am thinking I might have to. I am hoping to find support here from others like me.
Thank you
M

Welcome Mary! I too made the decision to quit drinking. I personally didn't go to treatment or AA, I just decided I didn't want to do it any longer and stopped. Tomorrow will be 2 months sober for me. I wish you luck!

Welcome Mary! Not wanting to drink anymore is a good start. Many of us try to quit when we really still want to drink and it doesn't work. I think you'll find lots to motivate you here!

Mary, I have done the same many times but not joined this site before. I am only on day four today and I am so sick of drinking and feeling sick. The hard thing is that I feel very sick when I don't drink too as my body is in a bad state. It is 4.16am in the morning and I should be sleeping ............ it's great to have this site to come to and get inspiration from. If all these others can do it then we can too 
Keep up the good work and do whatever you need to to stay on track and if that means treatment then that's great too. We are all on this site for a very good reason cause we don't want to drink or drug anymore 
let's stay on this rollercoaster ride

Mary, I'm glad you're back.
I know it's a bit overwhelming when you realize you need to stop drinking and it seems so difficult. There is always support here at SR and we do understand.

Hi Mary ,
I was a binge drinker and the binges got worse and closer together till i decided my drinking ( and probally most of my life) was unmanageable and i needed help from many sources to learn how to stay quit .
I wish i'd found this forum back then, there's some nice kind people here with lots of experience in stopping drinking and turning their lives into something really beutiful .
I wish you every sucsess in your endeavour, M

So many of us dont want to do things to get sober and live better, but its not about what I want other than not to live that old life anymore. So I have to do somethings specially when I dont want to.
Rehab is a option thats a great start to build a foundation. I use AA, and wouldnt be here without it.
