From everything that makes me want to drink.

I'm going out for a little while.

Try reading. Or reading about meditation. Or meditating. You can get away from your thoughts & surroundings. Journaling helps, too.

Stay Strong!

Why does everything around me, make me want to drink?

Whenever I feel like that lately, I just go for a jog/walk around the neighborhood. All the houses are lit up, snow is on the ground, and there is nothing like a 12 degree temperature to really clear your head! It's THE most refreshing thing to do. (I think so at least)

I think it takes a lot of changing in behaviours to be able to recover.

I hope you feel better.

There are bars and pubs in my neighborhood.

But I like going for walks.

I made a lot of changes in my lifestyle. It takes time.
I also had to accept fully that drinking wasn't for me. That took some time too

There are still bars and clubs and liquor stores in my neighbourhood but they don't bother me now.

stick with it Seared

Seared

Which behaviors?

Thank you. I hope I feel better too.

If you have a bathtub, draw a bath. If not, stand under a shower. It is cleansing, and also requires you to be naked. This gives you pause to think. And you can't walk into a pub naked. :-)

Is rehab an option for you?

Dust yourself off and start again bud.

Everything around me makes me want to drink because I am an alcoholic.
