I'll be missing something alright!
All I know is I was no longer enjoying my life and it didn't matter how much I drank I could never capture that feeling from the beginning of my drinking. I am so glad that I am now missing all the things that I thought I would be missing. Cuz they were not so nice things if I am really honest with myself. I didn't enjoy being in 5 detoxes, 5 psych wards, 4 treatment centers and jail 7 times. Those are the so called things I will be missing if I decide to drink again. No Thank You! I don't miss um! I am missing nothing! Good thread thanks

Omg it's like reading myself.
Binge drink- pass out - anxiety- wanna quit - few days feel better- binge drink- hangover- worse anxiety- suicidal thoughts- wanna quit real bad- feel better- so far so on...
It does not get better, it gets worse. I thought too I could just stop but then I tried and I tried and I couldn't.
Don't wait until you hit rock bottom. Go to a AA meeting and get your life back.

So last night I thought I could have one or three beers. Nope, we all know how that works. I'm done. I mentioned I was sober for 5 months last year; I want to be in that place again, a place where I'm not afraid of myself or fearful about who I might hurt when I'm intoxicated, a place where I'm in control and have none of the issues involved with a drinking life. Frankly, being a drunk takes too much work and too much of toll on my life.
Now I set out to work on finding a way to rich and rewarding life without alcohol.

Hi Feenixx,
Whenever I feel like moderating (well, considering moderating), I go to this thread posted by Eternal Q. It helps me remember why moderating is no longer a viable option for me. I hope it helps you as well.
