Trying to figure this out

I am new here so I decided to make a post. I wouldn't say I am currently in sobriety, since I drank last night. I was actually considering a walk down to the liquor store to get something to drink today. Part of me really wants to, but the other part realizes that alcohol is ruining my life. I want to be sober and go back to the person I was before I started drinking, but the addiction part wants to go drink and forget about my problems.

Welcome to SR!

If you want to get sober, this is a good place to start.

Welcome.

We all know that feeling of wanting to and not wanting to. The ambivalence is so hard to confront. But I understand it's all about making a decision to face down that ambivalence with a decision. I will not drink. I do not drink.

You took off your coat and got something to eat - that's a decision and bully for you!
