back again needing a bit of motivation

:lSo sorry to hear the despair in your thread but the good news is you WERE AF for 2 months, and you know how to stay away from the booze. That is what I have learned on these threads, sometimes it takes practice to learn how to life an AF life. So, try not to get to discouraged and down on yourself. Celebrate your strengths, be honest, and make another plan. You can do it, we are here for your, and it IS a journey.:h:

Patrice, for me it was the lingering dream of being able to drink moderately someday that made my journey more difficult. Don't get me wrong - quitting is not easy. But it got a whole lot easier when I FINALLY surrendered, 100% to the idea that I just simply cannot drink safely. Rather than say to myself "oh poor me I can never ever drink again!" I say "for me, I just cannot ever drink safely. I can drink, but chances are high that something bad will happen if I do." That is the TRUTH for me. Accepting it was hard, but it's also what finally set me free.
