I’ve been sober a couple of different months during this year but never resolved to quit for good until a week ago
Never had much withdrawal the other two times I abstained but this time I’ve done a great deal of soul-searching and emotionally I’ve been a wreck Now I seem to be leveling out and I have definitely stopped lying to myself It’s still very hard but I have the notion that it can get better- much better I’ve seen alcohol as the main problem for everything I keep getting glimpses of a new life on the horizon and I’m motivated Slow process however | ||

Great work, I hear you. I am at a very similar tender stage. The difference is that this is the first time ever ever I have so clearly seen the biggest problems all lead back to alcohol. Bleeding obvious now. But up to only a few days ago, the denial was so strong, that I considered alcohol to be a symptom not the problem. Good luck.

Welcome little wing.. like your name... There are many lying in their graves because of denial. Glad to know you have come to accept your problem. With acceptance comes the strength and courage to change. It is possible and there is a solution to your problem. Hope to see you post again....

Welcome both of you.... I realise now that there's no problem I have that a drink won't make worse.
Took me a long time to realise that because for many years drinking was my solution. Thank God I got off that treadmill. There is a solution...and you don't have to do this alone. idgie -------------------- Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Matthew 6:27 May the Force be with you.
