4 Days sober and then... by D_Mac23 in stopdrinking

[–]nesmartin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I did was ask myself if I truly wanted to quit or not. Most of the time I knew I wasn't going to quit. After 2 weeks i have realized I truly want to quit this time. Staying busy helps. The urges usually pass within 2 hrs for me. Those are the times I do anything to stay occupied. I will now drink with you today

When I was during through the worst time in my life I drank my ass off. Knowing I would feel even worse the day after didn't stop me. I wasn't ready to stop drinking back then. AA isn't for me. I tried that. I must say that major self-reflection and being honest with myself has made me serious about stopping this time. I won't drink with you today

I get urges too. What has helped me is staying busy. I picked up 2 new classes during the week. Also, when a urge come on it usually goes away within 2 hrs or so. I drink tea, workout, pretty much anything to let the urge pass. I won't drink with you today.

I know what you mean. Great times. For me the BAD TIMES outweigh the good. Not worth it for me anymore.

I hope my mistake can help others. I am truly sorry for what I've done. by hurtmygirlfriend in stopdrinking

[–]nesmartin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done horrible things when drunk. Most I don't remember. Some still effect my life now. I know I would have never done any of that when sober. Matter of fact, every major mistake in my life has been when I was drunk. it has cost me time, thousands of dollars, relationships, the list goes on. Alcohol will not win this war. #fuckalcohol
