Nothing can be worth feeling this awful

When the pain of drinking becomes more than the pain of quitting, you can succeed in quitting.

Just make a committment to yourself that you will not drink today. Just take it one day at a time. Don't worry about tomorrow, just concetrate on today. Take it one hour at a time if you have to....whatever it takes to not drink. After the first few days you will start to see a transformation.....from drunk to sober. You will start feeling better....and thinking clearer. It doesn't take very long to start seeing the benefits of not drinking.

You have to be brutal with yourself and go to battle with The Beast. Say to yourself that no matter what happens, drinking is not an option. Period. Be proactive. Don't sit around waiting for The Beast to come to you. Be aggressive. Talk to The Beast and tell him there is nothing he can do to make you take a drink.

Before you know it you will have 1 week AF....then 2....and you will be well on your way to changing your life and getting off this rollercoaster for good.

But it all starts with ...." I will not drink today...."

Thanks for that encouragement. I have literally been lecturing myself out loud before I have to go out and meet friends. I imagine it's helped somewhat the past 2 days. However it's an alcohol-drenched world, all my nearest and dearest are functional Hardcore Imbibers, as myself. But I know that physically my body can't take anymore.

Chief is so right so take it one day at a time and say "I will not drink today"and the rest will eventually fall into place

My love and support

Thanks everyone for your support. I try and get on this board once or twice a day for fortification, it helps. I'm in a challenging environment.

Thanks again.
