I have been going back and fourth in my head

I have been going back and fourth in my head about going sober again. I am powerless over alcohol and have no self control when it comes to it. I need that relief at the end of the day. In the past I have been sober.. thought I had a handle on it.. and then started drinking again..I was telling myself I can control it, but always get back into the same bad habits. I could use some motivation to get healthy and sober again. :confused:

I have been struggling with that since I was 17 since I took my first drink. Now I can be sober then just one night think you can have one drink and the no self control comes into place and it’s ruining the night. But it gets better, I have relapse many times and had to get back on the horse and Stay sober

Hi Alyssa. You are like most of us. We think we can moderate what we drink. We are alcoholics, we CANNOT. For us 1 drink is too much 1000 is never enough. Don't ever forget it. I been there done that. Someone here recommended reading Alcohol Explained by William Porter. I've only just started reading it. It is a powerful read and very easy to understand.
Take it from a seasoned alcoholic. Alcohol will kill you. I wish you the best of luck in your journey.

Well, if you’re not sure yet just look into your little sweet heart’s eyes and ask her when she’s 18 if mommy shouldn’t have stopped or not. If not for yourself, then maybe for her?

It feels so much better to gain control and honestly it’s by surrendering to your higher power and saying you’re powerless. It’s so freeing. Once you take your hands off the the “control stick” of life God can take the control stick and guide you. You see our flesh takes control and wants us to give in. One thing i learned is sin always promises what it can’t deliver. The thought of it is always better than the action.

Hi. This is my 6th day sober, a first in forever. I was a smoker and I quit cold turkey, I am planning on doing the same with drinking. I'm not craving alcohol whatsoever. In fact, I feel disgusted just thinking about it. Reach out to me anytime please
