People who have never struggled with alcoholism have no idea how important "one day" is. | |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 85141286  United Kingdom01/26/2023 04:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How about going on antabuse or a similar prescribed drug? It will make you really sick if you even get alcohol on your hands. Maybe that can tide you over while you strengthen your resolve. Kudzu is supposed to help with cravings. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 81605431 United States01/26/2023 05:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The gut microbiome is extremely out of whack with most alcoholics, the bugs that feed on alcohol will make you crave it like a strong compulsion because they want to get fed. If you want to increase your odds of cleaning up you must detox and restore your gut microbiome. |

Vow to never repeat. Don't repeat them. As a former drug addiction myself I don't want to hear any cry batching about how hard it is. Quiting a decade of opioid abuse wasn't easy. But I did it. So can you. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 40573144  Romania01/26/2023 06:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't really get this. I drink weekly for 14 years but I don't see myself as an alcoholic mainly because I only drink one or two shots only at night. For OP: You talk about how important one day is so I say this. Take your days one by one fill them from the morning to the night with meaningful things. Make yourself occupied with good things and your self worth and self respect will rise like never before. |

That's God's way of telling you to quit. And the more unbearable those and the other withdrawal symptoms become; thats God cheering you on to the quit line. Listen to God's cheers and not the other voices or intuitions. |

The internal battle against the booze demon is heart wrenching. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8839208 Some of us go through periods where we don't drink at all; but then it just happens, and we slip, and the spiral begins again. And then we hate ourselves and are disgusted, so we drink again and it's a horrible cycle. I love alcohol, and I hate it. I hate the grip it has on me. I hate the internal battle. I hate knowing how amazing I am without it and how many talents I've blessed with but that one sip is all it takes. All it takes to spiral down again. But you know what.... Those days like today, where I wrestle and wrestle against that horrible craving, and I WIN, those are the best. You sit there, you get your keys, you give yourself every reason why it'll be okay to drive yourself to the liquor store one more time; but then you sit there and give yourself a hundred reasons not to. I won't drink today. If anyone has any encouragement I need it now more than ever. You struggle because you're weak and have not self control or discipline. You like many other just like you, blame your addiction problems on other because you can "fix" yourself. Change your habits, change your health and change your surrounding and I'll bet your addictions will be less addicting. Change your mindset set hard to reach goals and reward your accomplishment and i'll bet you might find piece. Until then, don't cry to us, because we don't care. A |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 82076977 United States01/26/2023 07:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | After awhile, it kinda reverses. I find each day easier than the last, to not drink. Been sober 3.75 years or so. I went to a huge work conference a few weeks ago in Texas. 8000 of us. They were handing out drink vouchers nightly. Gave mine to a colleague. I could smell everybody reaking of alcohol the next couple of days. Only solidified my commitment to sobriety!! |
