Gotta quit.... Yes
Can quit... You CAN!
You have to work for it, but the reward is WAY more than alcohol can ever give you.
The choice is yours.

Heya Dry! Well pour the alcohol out, switch to water, and start HEALING. Not sure how much you drank but let it pass. Take a nap if you need to and wake up with continuing this same thread remembering how you feel/felt at this time and start day 1. You can do this!

Drysoon if I did it anybody can. That means you!

Hey Dry...You have to stop to at least figure out some kind of plan of action...You can't help yourself drinking....It doesn't work.

Heyo, Dry, quitting is a good thing. And knowing you need to is a good first step. What's your next move?

Hi Drysoon. I drank all my life & I stopped. You can do it, too. We're here to help you have a new life.

Hi Drysoon,

That first step is a difficult one to admit that we are powerless over alcohol. It took me a long time.

Drysoon in your name, does it mean that you intend to get dry soon?

You know you have to do it and it may hurt at the beginning but really life is so much better.

(((Drysoon))) - I lurked her for probably a couple of years. I got some clean time (I'm a crack addict), used "occasionally" until it turned into a full-blown relapse and a further bottom than I could have imagined.

I didn't log in to here until I had 6 months in recovery...been here ever since, and wish I had listened to what I heard long ago. I have decades of abusing one thing or another...alcohol, opiates, and crack which brought me to my knees. I just couldn't do it any more.

I'd been to meetings, but when I quit the crack, SR has been enough...for ME. I still use what I learned in AA, but some people need that extra F2F support.

Don't give up. Recovery is totally possible. I went from a highly-certified RN (a career I lost to addiction) to working minimum wage jobs. I still wouldn't trade it for a single day of using..I don't do stuff I have to regret, later, these days. I've had enough of consequences (many of which I'm still living with), but I wouldn't trade my worst day in recovery for my "best" day of being numb.

Hugs and prayers,

Amy
