I'm not sure what this is
 
Evening from a humid London UK folks

I just wanted to say that if your drinking/using now and don't actually want to be drinking/using think about that .. do you really not want to be drinking/using

Why don't you want to drink ? write it down get honest with yourself & the choices your making I wish I did this while active in my alcoholism

What do you get out of drinking/using ? write it down again be honest with yourself don't fantasise anything be brutal honest about this it will help

What do you think would change if you stop drinking/using ? yep you got it write it down; write down your hopes and what could benefit you from stopping drinking/using

Also write down your fears and present your fears to your hopes I'm sure you will see just how much fear holds from you back by doing this

Then ask yourself again do you really want to stop drinking/using

Thank you for reading this even if your a guest and not ready to reach out yet, thank you for at least reading this

There is no tomorrow x

I'm not sure what it is either, other than encouraging folks to think about why or why not drink, and the consequences, positive and negative of drinking or not drinking. All worth considering. But thanks.

thanks SW :)

There's something very similar in Allen Carr - I'm paraphrasing:

what do you think this drink will do for you?
is that a reasonable expectation?
are there other healthier ways for you to get whatever it is you want?
