Shit, I can't even kick energy drinks for a week. Let alone beer for 5 or 10 years. Sounds like you got will power my man.

Experience tells me never say never. However today is a good day not to drink if I can go 24 hours without a drink then I went a day tomorrow will be another day but I'm not worried about tomorrow and yesterday is in the past today is a present.
I can only quit one day at a time that's all we have maybe just procrastinate until cravings go away. God bless. Also when craving hits eat some chocolate just a suggestion Oreo cookies are good give yourself a treat. |

Hey Red.
Man, we've been talking about this subject here and there for 15 years. It's a progressive disease. I've been sober 18 months. For me its really about how I feel and my emotional triggers, rather than fighting cravings. For me alcohol was a habit. Sobriety is a lifestyle. I'm here to talk any time you need it, buddy. You cannot do this alone. Good for you for being honest about it and for reaching out like this. It takes a lot of will and courage. |

Thanks friends, all of this is very positive. My first night I basically didn't sleep and did have some light anxiety. I will sleep tonight. I will get to an additional solution, but for this week, I just want to get to next week. Then I'll look into some added support. I feel I'll sleep tonight, actually.
Ty all so very much! |

Red, it may take a couple of days for the insomnia and anxiety to go away. You can try a natural sleep supplement, like Melatonin, and see if that helps.
The best thing is waking up in the morning with a clear head and not feeling like shit...and for me, not having the runs. ![]() |

If my dick puking-up DNA is a sign of having a drinking problem, I feel sorry for my liver...

I know you were into working out for a while. For many with addictive personalities, this can be a lifelong healthy choice.
Once you start seeing positive changes in your body, along with the endorphin rush of working out, it's a positive change for your entire life and CAN replace some of those feelings/cravings you get for booze. I've seen many a drug addict or alcoholic replace substance with exercise. It's not all you'll have to do, but it's a good place to start along with counseling and/or classes. |
