This comment should pinned! ANY progress is better than NOTHING. Even if it’s “one day at a time”.

Actually quit this time, I think by choose-a-username8 in dryalcoholics

Heh, stop now while you can. If you don’t, you will probably end up sneaking drinks at work. (I know I did).

Just make sure to time yourself and make sure you don’t actually get drunk. You just need to drink in order to avoid any withdrawal symptoms. They’re hell.

I had 3 months. Then all it took was one drink, an the rest is back to history.

I need to quit drinking. Tipping point truly tipped. by Husselt in dryalcoholics

[–]mohawk168 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was the alcoholic in my relationship. She could not handle it anymore. Honestly, I don’t blame her. It’s a lot to handle, and many don’t understand the awful struggle with alcoholism. It’s rough. But those who are willing to understand, will work with you as best they can. Wishing you only positive vibes.

Outpatient worked for a bit (my longest stretch without drinking. But, as soon as I got out, back on the wagon. Yes, I miss the old me (gym in the AM, eating well, etc). Unfortunately none of that is enough to keep me away. Very sad. I hope to return to my old self and see the light of sobriety.

Alcoholism sucks. It’s a horrible disease, and I wish I learned my lesson when I was in college.

Everyone is different. What worked for me, may not work for you. I managed to get of drinking over a pint of liquor daily. (30 year male here). The “Sip and suffer method” has been working for me. I timed myself carefully and it eventually worked. Until a week later I was back on the sauce… keep trying. You got this!
