    You can do this!

    To all the people who feel they are never going to make it.............well I have been on this site for over a year and have struggled, succeeded, blown it struggled, succeeded, blown it and on it goes....I really thought I was one of the weak ones you know the type who eventually give up and drink themselves to death. But and a big BUT even though I didn't post much I still came on this site, when I was drinking and when I was not. Took the supps and tried to eat well, one of the excuses of always going back on the drink was because I could not sleep. Well last Sunday I decided no more and felt really strong, and guess what? Day 6 for me there are no cravings whatsoever, so weird to have this beast off my back! Whenever I start to do the head talk thing I cut it off straight away and don't listen to that whnney voice saying "just one glass, you have had a tough day" or "it's not fair! everybody has a right to enjoy life!" I just say "shut up drinking is not an option!" I did read that on another thread. I am not even on antabuse anymore, it made me feel deprived just like every other time I tried to abstain. But this time I don't feel deprived......I feel hope and at peace with myself.
    I just wanted to say all this because even though you might slip up or even feel that you can never do this, just stay close, read as much as you can, take the supps even if you are drinking cos eventually there will come a time when you know you can do this.
    Take Care and never give up
    Much Love

    PS My husband drinks and that was another of my excuses to say "this is all too hard" but now I don't really care if he drinks..............I just know I am going to wake up liking myself. This is such a great feeling!

            Oh Shazzybabe...FANTASTIC noos.....you must feel A-L-I-V-E....
            I think you've hit it on the head with the 'drinking is not an option' message to yourself....that is what I picked up when I read a post from MikeupNorth when I first came to the site, and one that I make sure every day that I live by....
            My partner too drinks quite a lot most evenings...and I agree full well that that can be a big 'reason' why we cannot stop drinking....join me on the sober sofa every evening though dearheart....

            You sound determined, and that's such a biggie!
            MUCH love to you
