you may think that but you can't possibly feel as good as you would minus the multiple bottles of wine per day!

GL with short term goals. They did not work for me but they do for some!! I HAD to decide that I Was done *forever*.

Healthy. I skipped a LOT of social functions when in early sobriety. Heck.....ALL functions! I wasnt strong enough to say no. Saying no is Mountains easier now. I focused on things in my life that I have wanted to do for a long time, but was unable to do because of my alcoholism. When I got rid of all of my excuses...It made it easier. I had to change how my brain perceived fun. What I found out is that I really wasnt having fun at the parties,games,dinners, whatever....I was just getting drunk. You will here this and I wasnt so sure that I believed it, But life has definitely gotten much better. Life is still life. But it is on my terms... not the beers.
I wish you the best on your journey!

Well done you! You are sober a long time. I will just start. Not looking forward the restart.
I haven't got a choice. I can't continue drinking. I want to quit and no more stupid excuses.
