Change it! You’re not happy now, why continue that way? Tomorrow can be the start of a new life.

Hi Tinkerbeau. That's just how I felt the night before I quit poisoning myself for good. It was over 11 yrs. ago. We all understand that feeling - and we know you can get your life back & flourish.

Go for it, Tinkerbeau!

You will never regret sobriety or your choice to "live".

All I can do is speak for myself...

While drinking
-Was my drinking life miserable? Yep.
-Was I married at one point? Yep.
-Did I remember if I called, texted or emailed someone while I was drinking? Nope.
-Did I **** anyone off while I was drinking? See above, don't remember.
-Did I spend my money to essentially end my life sooner? Yep.
-Did my body parts start doing things that I wouldn't want to talk about? Yep.
-Did I think I could drive? Yep and paid for it.
Etc...

While Not drinking
-Life is good right now. It's not perfect everyday but a hell of a lot better.
-Still not married but get along great with the ex who put up with a lot of **** while I was drinking.
-Now I can remember my communications from the night before.
-Did I **** someone off last night? Maybe, and I will remember it.
-Did I spend my money to essentially end my life sooner? Not anymore.
-It's amazing how the body changes when there isn't and booze involved.
-Now I can drive anytime during the day or night and not worry about it.
Etc...

In a nut shell, life is so much effing better without the booze for me at least.

I am rooting for you! You deserve the best that life has to offer you.
Drinking robs you of that
