alcohol dependent

U r headed in the right direction . PLZ seek pro counseling in order to be successful the biggest mistake most make is that they can quit by themselves.AA is an excellent support system.

cheers

HOPE

 

Good luck with that, Wendy! Hope it will continue. Drinking alcohol will only damage your body.

Hi WENDY,

​How you view your own cravings will determine how much power they have over you. If you believe that a craving won’t naturally go away once it has started, or if you think that the only way to deal with a craving is to drink, then of course you will be fairly powerless over them. This is the cognitive component of your addiction.

PLZ contact PAUL on this string..

  

Hi Wendy,

how ya donin? No more ... Going ok?

Wendy,

Hope this is going well

Hi Wendy & welcome.  I too am relatively new here.  

I hope that typing out your intent to quit drinking somehow helped you commit to that end...  Its a bumpy road - more so for some than for others - but ultimately, it will mean a longer, healthier life and experiencing that life without the haze of alcohol.  

My (limited) advice is to get support/encouragement from those who can provide it.  Make a plan: work in the garden, declutter rooms, and accept that at least initially, you may have to work to go out of your way to avoid temptation.  Also recognise, you aren't 'simply' giving up alcohol, you're giving up a lifestyle, a companion, a relaxant, a crutch etc etc etc.  You must fill up that hole in your life with other things.  Many focus on fitness, meditation, voluntary work and such...  

Don't beat yourself up if to begin with you wanna hide from the world.  Love and strength

Hi Wendy,

how ya doin? Hope u r well and sober
