It did indeed ruin my life. Slowly but surely… You can stop this vicious cycle. You can. Don’t pick up the first drink. Come on here if you feel the urge to drink. Go out for a walk. Talk to like minded people. Do some sports. Or go to an AA meeting. Just take it minute by minute. Hour by hour. Just don’t pick up this one drink.

Good call. And it can be any time of day.
The afternoons and evenings are easier if you make an affirmative promise to yourself early in the day. Make a promise to yourself out loud and keep it for the day.

It was ruining my life, my health, my self respect, my mind, my memories, my interactions with my kids, my family, etc.
Looking back, nothing good came from alcohol. Even those “fun times,” well I don’t remember them anyway because I blacked out.
Dont drink today. You can do it.

That’s great! Sleep will get better the longer you stay sober. Day 35 here and I haven’t felt that great in a long time. Stay focused and fight for your sobriety. You can do it!

It was slowly but surely doing damage to my health, physical and mental. Stuck on that cycle. Make this the last time you quit, many people relapse and thats the last chance they had. They never make it back.
You’ve got this bro

Stay strong man, as many have said NOTHING GOOD comes from this. It takes everything from you. I’m currently 25 days sober, but my last binge pretty much cost me my marriage. My wife and i are unofficially separated. I was out of the house for 2 days drinking and drugging. I have an 8 month old and another on the way. Going through my steps, i get where she’s coming from. 4 yrs of worry and thinking the worst from maybe i got hurt to cheating because I’d be out all night. I can’t blame her, i did this to myself and my family. So as someone who very recently derailed their life…take it a day at a time, and avoid that first drink at all costs! You got this!
