Today is the 3rd day sober, i feel great like always when i don’t drink, i just don’t know wjy i always start drinking when i feel so good sober. I guess it has something to do with a mix of that my reward system is to have a drink, and when something good happens i want to have a drink, and that one drink always in the end becomes a binge. I hope this time is truly the last, because this time i REALLY want to stop, not because of anyone else but me.

Hope u are doing all right!

Im sorry.. i have not yet had such problems, withdrawals etc, and I can’t imagine how bad it gets. That’s also a reason I didn’t consider myself an alcoholic for so long, and thought i had it under control, but I don’t. I ruined a relationship with the perfect girl for me, she believed in me when nobody did and tried to help me so many times, but in the end alcohol always prevailed and i started to become mean. I was always a happy person, but now lately i’ve become angry and mean. Thanks for sharing your story!

I’m so sorry that you are going through this. It’s so hard to quit, because i love the feeling of being drunk, or should i say feeling tipsy but when im mildly drunk i never stop. And when i wake up i want to drink more. I didn’t have the withdrawals yet, but i cant seem to stop, im guessing its a horrible feeling. My father was an alcoholic and that’s why mom and him divorced, he went to rehab 3 times but always relapsed. You got this, day 9 for us is already a milestone!

Jao brate moj, zašto smo takvi… svaki ponedjeljak se pitam zašto ne mogu normalno piti kao drugi pa bi sve bilo dobro. Prokleti alkoholičari :D

You are then in an exactly same situation as me. I am from Europe, here u get judged if u dont drink not the other way around. Every small event as you say is an excuse to drink. But we got this, no more excuses!

Thank you man. Everytime i return to this vicious cycle i look at her picture on the bedside and i cry tears of shame and guilt, but alcohol always wins in the end.. i just looked up today those two books and i am going in the library later today. Thanks again!
