    Reasons Not To Drink - PLEASE REPLY!

    Hi all,
    I'm new here and wanted to take the opportunity to start a thread that could maybe benefit everyone on this forum, old or new! I have been thinking about my triggers and I wanted to put something up that I could go back to, time and time again, to draw strength from when all I want is a drink. You know the feeling, you want it so much you can't think straight? I always find reading something that I know I've written when thinking clearly helps a lot. Maybe this could strike a chord with you guys?
    I'd like to start off by listing a few reasons myself.
    1. Alcohol is ruining my health (which is, by all means, fragile anyway)
    2. Alcohol makes my depression spiral out of control.
    3. Alcohol confuses me; I lose the capability to think straight.
    4. Alcohol is driving a wedge between me and my husband; my family; my happiness.
    5. Alcohol turns me into another person.
    6. Alcohol has caused me to lose my looks and put on at least 2 stone.
    7. Drinking and it's consequences scares me.
    I guess that's it for now, I'll be adding to this regularly. I'd love it if people added to this thread - maybe it'll bring us all together?
    Thanks for reading and I hope everyone's doing ok.:new:
    Everyday, do something that will inch you closer to a better tomorrow. :h

              Hi,

              Alcohol keeps me from doing the productive things in life.

              I just drink.

              24/7, drink.

              Alcohol has taken over my life.

                      Drinking has lots of calories and creates too much estrogen leading to cancer.

                            Alcohol takes what ever is unique in my personaltiy and it distorts and bleeds all the colors dry.


                            It has me, it wants me as it longs for what is left of The me 2 be.

                            Sometimes I feel like a stripper. Stripped because you just go through the motions to make rent. To put food on the table.

                            To hopefully reach out to a soul that identifies.

                            I dont know how long I can keep doing my best.
