If you read my thread you know I quit because I was afraid for my life. I woke up one morning and had a seizure a couple of weeks before my wedding. Really scary stuff. I bet that feeling has got to be even more powerful when kids are involved. You're doing the right thing, but you know that already Thanks for playing the beer dumping game with me. :ghug3
Goodnight!

Best of luck pmDavis, I've tried the deadline thing before and what happens with me is that I'll stop on the deadline, then after a few days I'm feeling better and think "that was a piece of p;ss, maybe I don't have a problem after all if I can just stop right when I want!" then I'll go down the pub after work with everyone else and Just Have One - then I can say goodbye to the next 6 months or until I'm so wrecked I'm physically incapable of getting out to restock.

Still angry. that being said with my jaw clinched, you ******* win **** you. I am done. I will go to a meeting tomorrow. your ******* welcome **** you god damn sober *****.[/QUOTE]
It's OK, I am only on week 3, went through the holidays sans alcohol and it sucked. That sparkling apple cider is still in the fridge - not the same as champagne and so it sits. I did not make my traditional buttered spiced cider because I couldn't add the 'secret ingredient' which is 151 proof Bacardi.
Angry, yes - I think it's probably the first reaction to your bodies deprivation of booze, it was and still is for me a bit, but not so much as in the first few days.
The only one who 'wins' is you. Not us. We are on our own very personal journeys and so are you.
My liver screaming for help made everything very clear. Maybe not the right 'way' but it is so far working for me.
What do I really want? The reality of Cirrosis? or reasonable health, time with my family and to outlive my parents who both died young.
Good luck to you in the new year!
