Hey All...
it has been a few months since I have been on the site. Was really struggling with trying to moderate and quit. I had been successful both moderating and quitting off and on for the past two years, but only for short periods of time and then I would wind up going back to my old habits of drinking every evening and overindulging. I was on a binge for a few months with no breaks and felt like hell. So, I made a plan to go away from home for three weeks to my moms to quit for good (and to get away from the usual triggers at home) and came across a book called "The Easy Way to Quit Drinking" by Allen Carr. I read it just before I left home and quit with ease even before leaving. I even went to Reno for two days (usually party city for me with free, unlimited alcohol) with my husband on day 7 and had no desire to drink at all. I am not only alcohol free, but more importantly, I am free from alcohol. No cravings, no desires!!! It has been 12 days now and I have never been able to go more than 6, and I always felt cravings and wound up drinking again. NO MORE! When I think about taking a drink...I feel repulsed.
I would encourage everyone on the MWO program to read this book...it is life changing and exposes the truth about alcohol addiction. May it ease your struggles as it has mine. Blessings to all of you who are on this path - never, ever give up on yourself and you will be free...maybe sooner than you think.
