What if, when you quit, you would feel miserable for the rest of your life? Cravings, anxiety, all sorts of bad stuff.

Bear with me for a moment.

What if that were true. The only option would be to drink. To be a drunk. To be a dazed mess living in a haze...

Wait a minute. Which one is worse?

Drinking is easier. That's the problem. But I'd rather feel cravings than be a drunk. It's not like they're gonna kill me.

Alcohol would btw.

Thanks for bearing with me.

The reality is, for a period of time after quitting, you may feel miserable. You may want it so much.

But that will pass! It's for a limited time-period.

Be strong in the darkest moments and you will get through it. And then alcohol will be gone.

Oh and btw, not quitting is life-long misery. Do you really want that? Or do you want to know what the light at the end of the tunnel feels like? It's quite nice.

Well said. We all know where drinking leads us. We owe it to ourselves to find out where sobriety can take us.

This is a great read heading into the weekend. I will reflect back on it as the cravings hit. Thank you.
