Been trying to quit. Drank allot during the pandemic and now i’m trying to quit the habit. Been having heart palpitations I’ve cut back allot but it’s still a waist of money and a regret every time. The anxiety is unbearable because I have financial challenges as well.

Welcome Chad! Many if not most of us have been exactly where you are. You can have a life of freedom if you really want it. Glad you’re here.

Welcome. Addiction wants us to feel despair so that we continue to numb ourselves and stay on the addict loop. Take it slow and steady one step at a time. By stopping drinking you will only be helping make things better. I spent an absolute fortune on booze, got myself into debt and I too was so worried about it. But once I decided enough is enough things,very slowly, started to get better. Over time I have cleared the debt and now have some savings. My mind is clear and I know one drink would take me back to that despair 
. You are now among friends 
we can do this together, one day at a time.

I am 31 days without alcohol and have to say I’m feeling great. What I’ve learned is that with me it’s all or nothing so it has to be nothing. It’s the first drink that’s the problem as after that can’t stop. If you can avoid that first drink, you’re going in the right direction. It’s not easy unfortunately but for health, weight, money, relationship reasons it can only benefit us to 
stop. Good

Welcome Chad.
My scary heart palpitations have gone away and have been forgotten about. Thanks for the reminder. When I first started my sober journey I was very grateful for that. And especially grateful for the calmness and serenity I started to feel. Mentally and physically.

I’m grateful for new comers.
