Day 1. Again.

[Quakegirl]

Damnit, drinking is so much fun. While it lasts.

But again, I am tired of the rollercoaster.

Tired of having choices taken away from me about how I spend my time, once I have had a few drinks (too out of it and too hopeless to do anything productive). I am tired of battling the problem of my drinking. And since I no longer seem to be able to stop at one or two, and just drink now and then, I can't ditch the 'problem' without ditching the 'drinking'. It seems like for me, there is no other kind of drinking any more.

So here I go again. Not sure whether that's a or a .

Hi Quakegirl,

It can be whatever you want it to be. This can be the first day of your precious new life. Take it back and kick some arse friend.

Check out the toolbox in monthly abstinence section.

G bloke.

Quakegirl...

You are HERE and you are here with a whole lot more acceptance about the realities of alcohol addiction. So much of the damage that alcohol does to us is 'under the hood' and out of sight which makes it easier for us to ignore. But that damage is there and that damage continues with every drink.

Once I faced the objective and undeniable FACTS of what alcohol was doing to my system and once I accepted that this meant no longer putting the toxin in my body...I was finally free.

It was actually a huge relief. Of course, life didn't magically change overnight. The healing process takes time. There's a lot of good information around here on supplements for biochemical repair and methods for retraining your addicted brain.

You have just taken THE most essential step in getting back to the true NORMAL. Keep going!

Day 1. Again.

Quakegirl,

It has taken me years to realise that I just cannot moderate. That inner voice still tries to argue its case, but my 'wise' brain takes over most of the time and argues it's case! Hang in there and aim for 30 days. Let us know how you are going.

Change.
