Please get to meetings. Can you call your Dr there are meds to help with craving. I used CAMPRAL for 2 years. Call him.

Cravings don’t last long but the consequences can last a lifetime. Try occupying yourself so you dnt focus on that drink or what’s bothering you

You think a drink will help it won’t only short term fix and one drink will lead to many. If you like I was drinking all day, night you may need to go to ER and be medically detoxed. Please be careful. :pray:

You only have one life but, if you keep drinking it will not be a long happy life. Take it from me honey.

You look young and beautiful please get the right help. Not that age and looks matter but too young. My brother did 34 no liver left the color of a lemon. Most brutal death to witness.

Understand that it is your brain being selfish. A part of you is so selfish that it will literally drink the rest of you to death. Put this part in a lock box and throw the keys.

Yeah, so, this is how it works. I presume WE are alcoholics/addicts. That is with or without actually using, right? Your thoughts are what make the whole thing set in motion. The insanity isn’t using, it’s using again when removed from it, knowing what will happen. Anyways, recovery is about the removal of self - move a muscle, change a thought. It requires action and definitely work with OTHERS. Good post!
