Quit for evil then, if that works better for you. Whatever floats your boat. I quit FOR GREAT JUSTICE. |

Forever never comes - it is always 'now' Even after i had my last drink three years ago the thought of a future withour alcohol sent me into a cold dread. in time i came to view that as a pathological state as a result of my alcoholism. One day at a time is all ypu need- that is all there ever is anyway |

Never ever wAnt to go back to that life , ever. I have to say that a few of the top of the list items that I've found by getting this far are finding out what a lie addiction was. Fearing how I was ever going to have fun again or live without alcohol was nothing more than a big lie that addiction was telling me. Another big plus is actually feeling relief that I no longer drink when invited to events. Just got invited to a Memorial Day bbq and offered to make something to bring. It isn't until Monday and I think back to the old me. One, I would have been late and feeling like crap when I showed up because I would have had Fri, Sat, and Sunday to drink it up. I mean, after all, it is a long weekend and that's what long weekends are for, right? Two, who knows if I could even have been depended on to show up with what I promised to bring (or even show up at all). Three, ugh, to think about who I would have left that bbq as and what I might have done or said. Four, I can leave that party when I want and not fear driving home and if I want to do something else after I am free to do that. Sobriety = relief and freedom! I'm perfectly comfortable and fine saying that I want to live the rest of my life exactly like this. |
Had to make it more explicit... Thank you Lady! Your last post helps me a lot! |
I've had a huge realisation today that I need to quit fully. I've tried reducing down but I don't imagine I will ever be able to just have one/drink socially. I can hold off until later on in the day but as soon as I have one drink, that's it. |
