My most successful quit has been when I realized that alcohol wasn't doing for me what I was looking for it to do.
Then I learned about the dopamine rush and cortisol drop that alcohol makes happen.
This knowledge helped me understand why I kept doing something that I didn't want to do, because something I needed wasn't where I was looking and it caused me and my family much pain because I kept looking there.
I slipped again; I will not quit looking for what I need, but I will quit looking for it in alcohol.
Thanks for reading.
