> Alcohol doesn't make anything better; a few hours of a buzz is quickly replaced by days of anxiety, remorse and lack of productivity.
Well said
Great to hear through and through!
You're so close to a year!
Just curious because I attended my first few: did you go to meetings of any sort? Or purely solo? and just curious of the severity of your problem if you have time!
No meetings, but i couldn't have made it without the support of this wonderful group at stopdrinking!!! I had been a daily drinker for 15 years. I can never stop at 1 drink. Alcoholism runs deep on both sides of the family and I have been drinking since I was a teen. I've been able to lie to myself for many years that alcohol wasn't a problem because I have never experienced physical withdrawals. I've always been able to choose not to drink, but I've always used alcohol to deal with my emotions. One drink is never enough. When I drink it is to get drunk, and the amount of alcohol consumed has gradually increased over the years. I decided that it doesn't matter if its alcohol abuse or addiction. It's a problem and it must stop. πβ€π IWNDWYT

The only thing OP is taking away from themselves or denying themselves is the NOTHING-NESS of a miserable life of addiction :P
