I want to stop drinking, so I can take better care of myself health wise, save money, just all round do better. So why do I keep drinking? I know better and I want to do better. I need help.

Go to “Sobriety School” with an open mind. Lookup local meetings for AA or Smart Recovery. Sure you can make all of that happen if you give yourself the mental clarity💚

Thank you will do
I was there once; I tried and tried on my own, but it wasn’t until I completely surrendered and realized I could not do it on my own. I surrendered my inner demons and placed my faith and strength in God and His almighty plan. I am only 3 months from the day I left rehab but God continues to work in me daily and I continue to use His purpose through my journey. It doesn’t happen over night but it helped me to look at the reasons of “why” I drank. At rehab, I was able to build a better me and one that I love and have forgiven. You have to know your worth and know that you are worthy of the beautiful life God gave you. I believe you do and I pray you see that too

I have tried countless times to put the drink down, but without fail something would ALWAYS happen and I would be convinced that somehow, some way, this time would be different. I will only drink wine, I won't drink hard liquor, I'm only going to have a couple, stick to beer, etc etc etc. The only thing that worked for me was AA, and following ALL of the suggestions like finding a home group, getting a sponsor and actively reading the book and working the steps, getting a service position in my home group, and showing up to as many meetings as I could get to - ESPECIALLY when I didn't want to go!! AA saved my life, and today after going through the book and now taking other men through the book I now walk a free man. Alcohol no longer consumes my thoughts and actions. I can go anywhere, and handle anything that life throws my way! Things that I would have drank over before, are now easily shrugged off as a part of life. 9/11/24 will be 2 years for me, and it is due to the relationship with my Higher Power that I choose to call God, that I have built through daily prayer and meditation. It's not a religious program, rather a spiritual one but if you come into this with an open mind, and be willing to listen and change, you won't EVER "have to drink" again!!
