Struggling with the fact that I still want to drink

Struggling with the fact that I still want to drink. I know I don't need to. I had a CT scan and blood work a couple weeks ago. I make a mess of my life when I drink, but I want too.

I was exactly the same as both of you, I was so far in the game withdrawal scared me, so I drank that thought away too. Busted a hole in my leg, same tests but also a blood transfusion lol I bled out. Wake up and told I have liver disease, detoxed 6 days that I don’t remember a second of, scary stuff. Good luck to you both

Wow it sounds like we went through the same issues. I have liver disease as well.

I’m sorry to hear that, I been doing good of course no drinking and just taking the meds and the docs advice, I’m end stage liver disease but she says my numbers are doing good, I just smoke a lot of weed and straight protein diet, I was a beer monster from 15-49 years old. Hopefully that monster is gone for quite some time lol. Stay strong my friend!!

I'm very fortunate, I do not have any major health issues. I was in a major car accident and was air flighted almost 4 years ago. 3 metal limbs and tons of broken bones but I still want to drink. I take Antabuse now but I know I can stop it for a couple days and drink if I want to. I mostly make myself take it but last week I avoided it so I could drink. I only drank 2 days, wasn't sick then started taking my meds again.
