what the HELL is my problem???!!!!!
DH - so sorry you feel this way. I could have written that post everyday for about 15 yrs. My entire life has been on hold because of alcohol. I am the Queen of Procrastination. I tell you about it later...chuckle.
I agree with what has been said. You really have to figure out the "whys". Why do you really drink? And why do you want to stop? Really give this some indepth thought. Not just the obvious answers.
I have spent the last month thankfully AF but still learning a lot of triggers that I never realized I had. I thought I drank because of stress and boredom. Now I realize that I am bored whether I have a can of soda or a can of beer in my hand. So that was just a stupid reason to drink in my book. Wasted a lot of time on that excuse, let me tell you. Stress has to be dealt with head on. It's always going to be a part of our lives. Drinking only adds more stress and...well, you know. The other triggers I have learned recently about only made me see how addictive this poison really is. Last Sunday - big NE vs SC game - woohoo! I wanted a beer, but stayed good and opened an O'Douls. That damn can was still half full by the time the game ended! I didn't want a beer. I was just used to drinking when I watch sports!! Never saw it as a habit that went hand in hand before, you know? So find out what your "triggers" are. Everytime you drink, really think about what made you want to. When you find these triggers you are better prepared next time it happens. Believe me when I tell you this will help tremendously!! You have to arm yourself with defenses!!
The book and the supps are not magic. They are just tools. You still have to put in the work of your "whys". You can do it. It will happen for you. I know it will. You are too great of a person for it not to. We are here...always.
Love, Me

Try to listen, you are here and I do not believe in coincidences (Oh well, and that applies for all of us.....I refused to listen too and got a spank in the right direction)
