Hey coops dad,
Sounds like we may have a lot in common. With the Famally and all. Just wait till you see the true love you have been missing while you were drunk. The first time I saw it after I got sober it made all the withdral worth it. Glad to see you doing well. good luck.

Excellent Coops !

Now, don't go fooling yourself into thinking "I can have just one drink now that I'm feeling better".

Withdraw, while excruciatingly painful, is relatively easy compared to the first 30-60 days of abstinence.

That said, once my program "kicked in", the urge and desire to drink (the obsessions) were removed.

glass,

i will never fool myself into thinking i can have another drink. i absolutely know i cant handle the booze. ive never been able to have just 1 drink which is what got me where i am. i never thought id be able to think of life without drinking{football, parties ect.}, now i know i have to and i can. my mother passed while i was young of leukemia and i will never willingly put my children through that grief. if i continue to drink i know they would lose their father because of his own selfishness and stupidity. i know i have not won after 4 days but i am positive and determined to fight. ill keep posting.

I'm a bit late to the party -

Welcome Coopsdad. You're 5 days ahead of me, and sounds like you are doing great!
