No more alcohol...

I will stop drinking.

I don't get hung over, I feel depressed.

I don't get headaches, I cry.

I don't want to be sick, I don't want to get out of bed.

Why did I start because I met someone who made me feel happy and safe and it lulled me into a false sense of mental security.

I can't handle alcohol even if it's only 2 units a month.

And today is the day I return to a sober life.

That sums it pretty well. I’m an alcoholic myself and I cling hard to the mental relief I get from being inebriated, but I’ve learned the coming down just isn’t worth the high. I do it anyway because I’m hooked now, but this post just reminds me of why I should stop. I’m sorry you’ve struggled with it too. I have moments when I’ll get so drunk, for so long, I’ll get tired of drinking too. Even though I always find myself coming back to it anyway. I hope you’re stronger than me and that doesn’t happen with you. 🫂

@Ducky I need to quit if I want to have a life. A healthy happy one.
You can do it too but noone can tell you, noone can show you how to quit either.
You know your body, you can feel when the urge comes on, there needs to be a motivation so strong it can override that desire.

You will get there x
