Play the tape through: what happens when you drink? Where does that road end? Hang over? Embarrassment? DUI? Car crash or worse? Is it worth it?

This craving will not last. It’s not you that wants a drink… It’s your brain. Tell your brain you don’t want one.
This craving will pass

I 100% felt the same way about 2 hours ago. The thing is, the liquor wears off. But the problems that made me want to get hammered in the first place will be there waiting once I’m sober and hungover. Then comes the shame of having given in yet again cause I couldn’t come face to face with myself.
Instead I went to the gym and I feel better even if it’s just for the moment. Whatever it is that makes you feel proud of yourself, run to that and see what happens.

Dont ,just keep going ,going back and forth only makes it worst in the long run im 24 days sober was on a high like never before, ive now came crashing down yesterday, but on here i can vent my thoughts feeling without being judged by people who know what its like ,you will get through it ,i never thought i would ,but even though im feeling low i dont want to drink anymore, im on the iron bru now lol seriously this is a good place to be ,talk tell others how you feel get advice and give it ,its been a long road for me ,over 5 years but going back wont make things any better ,im crying at everything at the moment and i dont know why but im determined to stick to this journey, i think i feel mad that i let alcohol run my life for so long and so many suppressed emotions are coming to the surface, i even contacted a lady who helped me back in july when i first tryed to get sober and she was glad to hear from me ,aa helped but on here i can talk without thinking all the faces in aa are thinking oh shut the fuck up your 5 mins are over lol it will get better just dont give in to it

I have never once regretted waking up sober and hangover free. But man, I cannot even count all the times I woke up defeated, humiliated, hungover, anxious, depressed, and on and on.
Lean into those tacos and sodas and post here as much as you need to. Walk or sleep or hit the gym. Remember why you chose this path. Hope you are feeling fresh and hangover free!!
And I love all the support you got here!

I’m going to write that down! “I’ve never once regretted waking up sober!” Another thing to put on my fridge!!! That’s sooooooo true!! But I TOTALLY would have regretted waking up if I drank last night! Thank you. It’s just so simple, but when I see it in writing is so powerful
