I know you're right. I have so many things I want to do and I haven't list everything yet.... it's just that first step I can't do again.
If I could just nail 24 hours without a drink, although 12 would be good, I'd be on my way.......but the hair of the dog to feel human in the morning just leads to another day of the same

I remember how that feels, Hendrix. And, the worst part is that you know you will have to go through it sooner or later if you ever want to stop drinking. It's just putting off the inevitable.
You can get through those 12 - 24 hours. Make sure you drink a lot of water and rest as much as you can. Distract yourself as much as possible. If you're really concerned about withdrawals, maybe you could contact your doctor.

I'm so glad you came back to us, Hendrix. You sound ready to do this. The drinking life is not sustainable - though I sure did try.
I was afraid of the morning shakes & misery too - and it kept me drinking for many more years after I admitted I needed to quit. No, it was not a fun time - but I got through it and never went back. The feeling of freedom is wonderful - no more living half a life. We know you can get there!
