I understand what you are saying Lingus.
I know I have to quit, but I do not want too. I'm scared of it but I know my body will eventually treat me the way I have been treating it.
You are here - I'm guessing that's the best first step.

Welcome, glad you're here!!
The opposite of your expectations or potential outcomes is true has been my experience.
The release from the bondage of addiction is difficult to explain - I suppose it is like being released from prison when there was little or no hope of parole.
Food tastes better, the sunrise means more and I am humbled by the smiles of another. There is a connection to the universe and other people that is unlike any I have experienced. All this at only around 14 months of sobriety.
I cannot ever imagine being enslaved again - quit drinking and tobacco.
Freedom is what's gained - nothing is lost!!

Hi Lingus-
Why not give sobriety a go? I am early in mine, but I can tell you it is by far the best decision I have every made. I still have struggles, but at the end of the day the freedom in my life, not being chained down by alcohol, is it's own reward.

I love this - I want all of those things. I want everything to be brighter again...when I don't drink for a few days I start to feel this way. WHY DO I START DRINKING AGAIN!?
Lingus, I swear its true....its just getting to it is - so hard.
