Sorry to say I've given in and bought some wine and lager . Didn't want too but temptation was too much today . Bad eh ?

Next time maybe come here before you buy the drink and talk it out

Sonic9

Easy to say !

You still have a choice whether or not to drink it though. It's not too late to throw it out x

Odelle

Yup, easy to say but also easy to do! Throw it out, chalk it up as experience and keep pushing forward. This is something YOU need to do for YOU. It does require a strong commitment and it is difficult at times, but you can do it!

I honestly didn't have any desire to drink the first couple of weeks after a quit. The horrible day after feelings were fresh in my mind.
This week I desperately want to drink just a little.
I try to remember how crappy I feel after, but it just doesn't hold that visceral feeling any longer. I feel, if I could quit for nearly four weeks, then I can do it again.

I know this is bargaining. You posted here so you want someone to say the right thing to stop you from drinking.

I don't know what made you quit, I don't know where you went from being a social to a problem drinker.

I know that my reasons for quitting were thinking about my brain. Your brain is completely re-wired now from abuse. Your mental functions aren't as sharp as they once were. Your personality is altered.

I don't have the negative reinforcement of a recent hangover to motivate me now.

I just keep telling myself that I miss me. I miss the person that used to be nicknamed "smiley."

I miss finding joy and beauty in things. I hate that the only time I can be any of those things is when I am drunk.

I just want my brain to be repaired. I want my soul to be healed.

Think about what drinking that wine and lager will do to your self esteem.

You will have momentary gratification and hate yourself tomorrow.

Yes it is, but it's also true that no one ever said sobriety or quitting was going to be easy. Pour it out and get rid of it, even if you haven't had any to drink yet. If you truly want sobriety, you can have it. It's worth it to make the effort.

We'll still be here, whenever you want to end this endless cycle...

Today is just another day Sonic. And we have all been through the BS too so it's nothing new to anyone here. Hope you decide to come back, we will all still be here waiting.

ReadyAtLast

just because you bought it doesnt mean you have to drink it. i don't think you'd have posted if you really wanted to drink it. please throw it out

Jeni26

Don't let a slip turn into a full blown relapse....

I posted something similar to you last May. I had chalked up a couple of months sober and then crashed one night. I posted on here drunk and sad. But when I sobered up the next day I re-read what people said to me. I listened to those who told me it would get easier...

I haven't drunk again since that night.

They were right, it does get easier.

We're always here for you. You CAN do this x

deeker

I don't think we can help him today. He made a choice, maybe tomorrow,

raja12

Its Your choice 2 make. I'm just back again myself after yet another slip. I really wish I wouldn't have. Pour it out, get back on track. It just truly isn't worth all it steals from us. I know the temptation is just so strong sometimes, I can barely stand it. But it does pass. Hoping the best 4 u.

Sonic9

Thanks for the support guys/gals think I am past caring now , love you all , A

Jeni26

Come back and try again tomorrow Sonic.

Things will seem different then x

Anna

I'm sorry to hear that, but you know where to find us.

MyFitz

I hate it that you're defeated.

ScottFromWI

Obviously you still care though...otherwise you wouldn't have posted here again. I see you are still online as well watching this thread, so that tells me if nothing else you realize that something is wrong.

ANYONE can quit drinking, and you are no exception.
