Finalcall

Feeling less stuck than this time a week ago. I have battled through this week knowing I don't want to drink. It still is somewhat glorified in my thoughts at times but I don't give them any time. The truth is simple. I cannot moderate. If I drink some I will be drinking all day everyday in no time. If I drink I cannot continue to provide the time and energy my family need from me. If I drink I will continue to struggle financially. I will continue to be anxious and depressed, my health will certainly decline and my kids will miss out on me. The list can go on and on.
I am so very grateful my wife has stood by me through all of this. She doesn't deserve to be with a selfish drunk. I have a decade of poor choices and blackouts to make up for, and being sober is the only way.
I don't want to drink, never again. I choose life.

Me too Finalcall.

Never want to return to that place again.

The weight has been removed at last.

You’ll never regret being sober. An alcoholic can never drink in moderation.

Congratulations on a week! I can relate well to your list of cons. I also had a list of pros for what I had hoped for with sobriety in my head to inspire me. What are your pros?

You summed up very well some of the big consequences of being an alcoholic and picking up again. You are absolutely on the right road Finalcall.
