Stopping and quitting aren’t the same. Stop comes with intent to go again. Try focusing the effort to drink into not wanting to drink. Think about how miserable it makes you feel and fuel the want to quit. Depending on your frequency and severity it’ll take time before you see the physical effects. The mental side is daily, just don’t drink for today. Tell yourself that in the morning and all day as needed. When you go to bed sober you’re giving tomorrow a chance to be better.

Meetings. Zoom or in person. Get plugged into a program and surround yourself with others in the same struggle. Can’t do this alone. Good start right now reaching out. Keep sharing.

"Our greatest glory consists not in never
failing, but in rising every time we fall." Quote from a show I watched-I agree. You can rise-that’s all that matters.

I know the feeling well and was just there a few days ago. I’m feeling better. Being in community has been helpful, and I am speaking with a new therapist. Your brain chemistry will rebalance as you get further from your relapse. I’ve been telling myself, on the advice of someone here, - Just for today. It makes things more doable. :heart:

I’m 2 days as well and feel horrible, hopeless and a disappointment but I’m glad I found this app so I can reach out when I attempt to drink again

Go to rehab to get you over the 90 day hump. Best thing I ever did. It sucks but doesn't suck. I couldn't stay sober for a week.
