Hi Pyes and welcome back!
I'm not gonna lie, it's hard at first! I understand how you feel...I thought I would NEVER be alcohol free...I mean I could not imagine my life without my 12 pack of beer every night. The thought horrified me. Now that I have some distance from it, I can't believe I lived like that. If you don't mind, maybe you can share more details of what you're going through...believe me, we've seen/heard it all, and we can help! Stick close, it CAN be done!!

Believe in yourself. You are stronger than you think.

Pyes....It is frustrating to go back and read old posts. I just did the same thing recently. The important thing to remember is that this is a process and it won't happen all at once. Most people will tell you that it took many attempts to beat this. Try to be patient with yourself and celebrate your accomplishments, even if you think they are small. Whatever you do....do not give up!Miley

Hi Pyes, it took me five years but I did it. Sometimes I posted a lot, but other times I just slowly digested the info. The tool box thread contains so much wisdom, so many ideas. Make a plan, and keep trying new ideas until you make it work. It is not easy, but definitely worth it to get your life back.My life is better without alcohol, since 9/1/12. My sobriety tool is the list at permalink 236 on the toolbox thread under monthly abstinance.

Welcome back Pyes! I know that it is tough in the beginning. I know when I tried to quit before it was difficult and I had failures more times than I care to count before I was about to get a quit to stick. In past tries, I wasn't fully ready to give up alcohol but this time I was ready and although this quit has had its hard moments, knowing that I was ready and wanted AL out of my life made it easier for me. I just considered my past attempts to quit drinking as practice quits. Now I have been sober for 27 months and I am never going back. When I was trying to quit and failing I never thought that I would get to this point, but now that I have I will do anything I can to not go back to my old life. Its just not worth it. Just keep reading the toolbox and set up a plan and if that fails, change your plan till you find one that works for you. Taking it ODAAT helps as well.I quit drinking on March 8, 2020. Taking it One Day At A Time and no more taking my quit for granted.
Also doing it for me. I got to stay sober for me.
Just consecrate on today and do what you can to remain sober for today and worry about staying sober tomorrow, tomorrow.
