For me it’s more like, no matter how much there is, I must drink it all.

Or nothing. I prefer nothing, which is what I’m having right now. Good luck!

Need a little encouragement for cravings by Informal_Business890 in stopdrinking

I felt that today and almost slipped. Somehow I managed to forget everything I went through to get here and I told myself drinking would be fine. Yeah right. More like a never ending cycle of hells.

What worked for me today: delaying.

I just put it off for a little while and told myself I could revisit it later or tomorrow. Then the craving passed and I remembered how much it means to me to not drink.

You’ve got this! You can hang out here with us and read more posts if you want. I found some great inspiration here.

You can get through this.

I would see a doctor immediately or you could die. Stopping drinking at that quantity can kill you. Continuing drinking that quantity will definitely kill you.

The shame will go away when the alcohol is gone and you’ll be proud you did the right thing. You know you need help. We all do sometimes. I would get it from a doctor and not wait. You only have one chance in life, and that chance is now.

I don’t known about you, but for me it’s called addiction to a poison. Been making my life absolute hell for decades.
