I want to be successful but it can be so hard. Only three hours after I had decided to quit drinking I was finishing up the last of the wine we had in the house. And I wasn't just sipping it I was chugging glass after glass, as though I had some uncontrollable hunger. When I woke up I was so deflated that I had already failed, I spent the rest of the day in such a funk beating myself up over it. What kept me going was that I would be able to be honest about my feelings here on this site. Writing down what is happening with me is so therapeutic.

Hi Elp, get rid of anything you have in the house if there is anything. You can do this, but you need a plan. How are you going to quit?

Hey elp. I did that same thing many times. Finally, though, I had enough. I had to convince myself drinking would never make me feel any better - about anything - ever. Once I gave up on that idea, I felt free. Sure, it was difficult to let go of something that once made me feel happy and carefree - but I knew it would never take me there again. You can get free of it, elp. Never give up trying for a better life.

Yes, get rid of the alcohol in the house and don't buy anymore.
