Here are my reasons to drink today
1.prove to myself that I really have no control over a bottle
2.spend more money
3.do more damage to my body
4.i love excuses
5.i can quit tomorrow
6.so i don't have to spend quality time with the family
7.most importantly so tomorrow morning I can wake up and start the new work week feeling like hell and resolve then not to drink anymore.

What are your reasons??

For me it's not in the plan, I will not give in to my AV, if I would go to any length to get booze, I will go to any length for my sobriety.

The only thing I might add is we hurt ourselves, family, loved ones and friends. Those are all important to me.

Also I go completely out of control, I can't stop without professional help, as I have said it other posts I love myself and this sickness will take my life, it will take everything and I quite simply have lost enough, more than enough.

1. So I can risk losing my drivers licence
2. So I can make my girlfriend cry
3. To get the feeling I have zero control
4. To undo all the effort and work to keep anxiety and depression at bay
5. To put my health at risk
6. To set myself up for a miserable and long drawn out week at a very challenging work environment

Today I will drink much less than I want because that's what is required by the pre-detox taper plan for the program I'm entering on the 11th.

• I can face the grief of losing the love of my life -- alcohol.
• I enjoy feeling quite a bit better due to not being inebriated every day.
• I am investing a LOT into this program, and it doesn't make sense to give it only half an effort -- I am ALL IN.

So, I will drink much less than I want today.

So the look of my despair reflected in the eyes of my loved ones may burn brightly.........

to prove to my family and whoever else that I am that STUPID to pick up after the wonderful feeling of sobriety and recovery.

I second that!

To numb my sadness instead of healing it;
To put myself in danger with self-destructive behaviour;
To feel shame;
To lose any remaining self-respect I have;
To get back on the pity-party train.

To prove to myself for yet 1 last time out of the million attempts I've already had that the fairytale of moderation can be achieved, despite the other 999,999 times miserably failing!!

Drinking today would

1. reaffirm to my inner critic (who is hard to shut up) that I am a worthless piece of ****
2. undo the past 2 and a half days of solid focus and commitment
3. further undo my recent attempts to build muscle and cardio fitness
4. be another act of giving up and self destruction
5. help me feel like my life is not worth living and I have nothing to contribute to anyone or anything.
6. help me look nice and wrinkled and haggard (it really does show on my face)
7. stop me being present and good company for my mums birthday to.morrow
8. possibly be the final straw, quitting is very very hard on my soul and body, I don't know how many more I have in me - emotionally and physically.
