It’s day 1 for me. Once Covid hit I started drinking a lot. Half a bottle of Jameson a night almost every day for the past year. Tonight I showed my first moment of strength. I drove right past the store without stopping. I could use all the encouragement that I can get.
That's a good start. Keep driving

Thanks. Today is a hard one to resist.
Day 1 for me too. Tired of being upset and angry with myself that I can’t go a day without drinking.

Totally understand and empathize. I’m very glad to have this place to ask for help. I think we can do it. I woke up without a hangover for the first time in a very long time and it feels amazing but I’m still so tempted.
They get easier. One drink is too many and one hundred is never enough Lizzie.

I will. Thanks so much for caring. It helps to know people are rooting for me to do this.
Oh so true.
Great job. Getting out of habits is such a challenge. Focus on something else and fill your time. The best decision you can make you already have friend

Realize you are absolutely not alone. Everyone is an addict to something but managing it has been near impossible at some times I bet. Don't feel bad to ask for help and look at programs and other options that might support you (especially if you have withdrawal symptoms). Addiction is a disease and sometimes requires treatment to get over. People SHOULD support you for making a brave and difficult choice and doing the right steps towards long term peace.
