SR..you've helped me, i'll help you. If you attend the meeting like some have requested great. Heres my opinion. Some may tell you to have the willpower and man up and not drink again. Now I don't know what times of the day you drink, (in the morning, night, after work, perhaps you can enlighten us?) You can't just cut it all out at once most likely... it may sound attainable sitting here reading this thread, but addictions don't work like that. Start by cutting back don't drink during one period of the day but tell yourself you can drink later. Then after a week of that turn it into every other day, you can't have beer today but you can always have it tomorrow. And build your way up. Yes this method still takes extreme determination and willpower and I know you feel guilty as hell every time you drink one. No you is forcing you to drink SR it's up to you.

Horrible advice.

I know what you're going thru SR and I can feel your pain. I've been on and off the wagon so many times there's likely a trail named for me somewhere leading away from a dive bar. I have no resolutions for you, for if I did, I wouldn't be back on the wagon again.
