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

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.

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.
Counting your blessings is a good start. Nonhomelessness is a blessing for sure! That's what it is for me. "Just for today, I'm actively staying inside." Bleep everything! It's too cold!
How are you doing today?
Reading those words "you only live once....." hit home for me. I wish I could tell you exactly what I did. Well, it was something like a lot of relapses until I was finally ready not to feel like that anymore. Each time I wasn't able to stop it got harder on my head. Once I got to the realization and fully believing I have an issue it made it easier to say no.
I'm only on day 7 and I still crave and want to run to it when I'm feeling down or angry. But it's easier for me to say no this time.

The drink won't help....and you're wrong, you only die once. You get to live everyday and that's the greatest gift. If I can help any any way please let me know. This is a tough day for us all
