You can do this! Life is better without booze. You will only know this if you try. Oh and it's not a case of just stopping, it takes energy and hard work and never taking your eye off the ball! We have all been where you are and some of us are still there, but working at getting better.

Get some support, post on here, put your sobriety above everything else you do and if you want it for you and You only (not what others think or want you to do!), you can do this! We are here for you!

Stopping isn't a single decision, its a decision and fresh commitment made over and over again. Each day when I get up, I ask myself, well, what is your decision for today? I think about the pro's and con's giving it serious thought. This past year, I've always decided to not drink that day, because as an alcoholic, drinking has disastrous consequences for me and the con's massively outweigh any benefits. So people just don't 'stop', its a path you walk on, not an end point.
