Hi Nikki. I felt just like you when I finally decided to end the insanity. I was terrified to let go of it. I had to admit it was no longer doing anything but destroying me. It wasn't fun or relaxing - I never got the euphoric feeling I once did. I kept searching for the feeling I had when I first began drinking - and it was never coming back.
It will be such a relief to kick that stuff out of your life. To wake up and realize you have a clear head, no headache, no guilt, no embarassing moments to feel awful about. You can do this, Nikki. We're glad you came here to tell your story - please keep posting.

I just joined today. I have faced legal consequences because of my drinking but have not made the effort to stop until now. I am also not a member of AA but am considering joining. Have faith you can stop- you can do it! We both can. Good luck.
