.......and holy cow am I ever happy this morning that I didnt drink it. If I had, Id have a massive headache, id be full of regret and I wouldnt want to get out of bed until 3 pm. After work last night, I went and bought 3 big beers and a bottle of vodka. I sat at home drinking the two beers and I didnt enjoy them at all. So just on a quick judgement call I grabbed the bottle and dumped it. Ive never done that before so Im kinda proud of myself.

Congratulations, emex! I think the morning is my favorite time now where it often used to be total misery. Keep it up and you'll have another one tomorrow that just might be even better! Welcome to SR, by the way!

Yay emex!! That is the first step.
And guess what? You will feel even better without the 2 beers

What a great post! I'm assuming you want to quit drinking?

Good for you for recognizing that drinking is no longer making you feel good.

You're at a place where I was more than once. I'm glad you dumped that booze. Take the next step and don't drink the two beers. Then do the same thing the next day. Take the dollars you saved from not buying the next bottle of vodka or the beer and go see a movie. One of my key learnings here, which you're beginning to realize, is that I have never regretted NOT drinking. Has anyone, alcoholic or otherwise, ever regretted not drinking? I highly doubt it. So reward yourself tomorrow by passing on alcohol today.
