Let's talking about Alcohol--and how it has placed a "Halt" on your llfe.
NO

I'm sick of talking about it, sick of hearing how it did me wrong, sick of trying to figure out my next move, sick of trying to be strong, sick of people telling me it will be alright, sick of crying over nothing ( I don't need to hear it will pass either, I've told that to myself many a times) I'm sick of watching what I say because it might hurt someone else sobriety. I'm sick of worrying about spelling something wrong--I don't give a rats ass. Should I have bleeped out the word A**?

I DON'T WANT a response. Don't tell me what I need, what I should do, how I should do it.

This is where talking about it has gotten me. NOWHERE

Damn right I'm worrying about me----

Ok. Fair enough.
So, what are you doing about it?

Sorry airwick the rules are if you post on here you get responses from people who care about how you're doing.

Sorry, I'll understand if you hate me.

So what do you say, Airwick? Are you ready to make your plan about continuing to use alcohol? You know I am not being trite or trivial - this is where the rubber meets the road. You can quit. Honest, you really really can. Really. You are the only one that matters here, just you. And you get to choose.

The only "Halt" in my life is, everything I missed out on while I sat at home drinking.

You wouldn't have posted this if you didn't want the attention and a response.

I get it airwick, I get that you are sick of talking, thinking about alcohol. The thing is, once you get it out of your life, you let the rest of your life in and alcohol shrinks to being almost nothing.

You can do it. Don't let the AV stress you out. Deep breath. What would you like? You know alcohol won't get you there. Friends will. hope will. Just breathe. We're here.

Hi airwick. Had any good ice cream lately?

You alright Airwick?!!

I do agree talking only does so much, SR is limited to being an online Forum, the real recovery is in the actions we take in our day to day lives to make Sobriety happen, there's no amount of taking online that can make someone else's routines/habits in life, it needs to come from the person themselves.

It's you're Sobriety, so focus on yourself and I and everyone else will take care of ourselves!!

Hang in there!!

Hi Airwick.

Perhaps your not ready and may never be ready!

So be it, we can’t get anyone else sober, happy or drunk. The majority, once they are ready need a reference point I call REMEMBER WHEN our lives were/are unmanageable, like it or not.
Try to picture the ISM as meaning “incredible short memory” which we have as proven by so many relapses.
We all have bad moments or hours but we don’t need to feed them.

Powerful, Cunning, Baffling and Insidious. It’s always waiting.

BE WELL

After years of struggling, last year I completely decluttered my mind of recovery "stuff". I empowered myself to take complete responsibility for my sobriety, and my sobriety would be based 100% on not drinking. Period. Nothing more.

Well get to quitting then, what are you waiting for? I find I do a lot less talking about my drinking when there's no drinking to talk about. Foot on the pedal, vrroom vrroom let's get it on!

I don't talk about it a lot these days.... but I still talk about it enough.

I talk a lot more about all the OTHER great stuff in life than I do about alcohol. And I don't think about it nearly as much as I did a little over a year ago.

I understand that feeling sick of talking about it though. I've been there.

I hope you'll stick around and keep on the sober path.
