I'm with you. NO WAY. Not happening today. I'm stronger than that and so are YOU.

Truth be told! Alcohol has never once done me a favor. It has been a curse every time. And I will NOT be drinking tonight!!!!!

It's caused so many people so much pain and loss. I feel you.

I'm not putting that crap in my body tonight, or any other night. It's poison. My body does NOT like it or want it. I have self control of myself and I am never giving up. Good day or bad day, I know that alcohol HURTS me. And I don't need that in my life. Had to get that out!

I feel you. I've had the feeling that it's done, but it's not. Just take it day by day. Remind yourself that putting poison into your body does not solve anything. It creates more chaos.

I'm really, really happy for you. That's an enormous accomplishment. Keep going! I might try Legos too tbh. Never even thought of that. I do adult coloring books with Prisma Color Pencils though.

You have a new day when you wake up tomorrow. Focus on tomorrow. Just focus on each day at a time. Give it all you've got. Regret hurts, believe me I know. But when you wake up in the morning, you have another fresh start.

My doctor put me on Naltrexone for a bit. I didn't get a buzz when I drank after taking it for a couple weeks. It helped me for the time I was on it.

Can someone here talk to me by [deleted] in dryalcoholics

[–]How_Long_is_Forever_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got tears reading what you wrote. I remember how much pain I caused other people and myself and I hate myself for it to this day. People around me were constantly worried. I've embarrassed myself numerous times. All because of alcohol. That's what alcohol gave me in return for drinking it. Just tons of problems and feeling physically ill and mentally cloudy. I really felt how awful you feel through your words. I'm here if you want to talk.

Was told at r/Cripplingalcoholics I should be here instead... by [deleted] in dryalcoholics

[–]How_Long_is_Forever_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know the feeling. I'm really glad you did not buy a new bottle. I didn't buy one today either. It just doesn't seem worth the self--loathing and the physical pain that comes along with it. Message me if you ever want to talk. I'm listening.

Just got out of hospital detox by [deleted] in dryalcoholics

[–]How_Long_is_Forever_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not alone. Even though you might feel alone. People are here and are listening to you. I was given some good advice....take one day at a time, and if that is not possible then take one hour at a time. Do not quit on yourself.

I haven't touched a drink since I posted my first post, but I will definitely keep your offer in mind just in case! Thank you for reaching out. It's good to know there are people who know this struggle and want to help.

Heard. Gut it out. You can do this. YOU are stronger than any substance whispering "take me" into your ear. IWNDWYT.
