In my case works next: put the movie forward on, thinking in how much I am going to suffer just with that first drink.

For me it is also important not to think in records, goals or marvellous future. Just not to drink today, only for myself, for my health, for my body.

Relapses are quite often but this restart would be the definitive one. You deserve a better life without the booze.

Kind regards from Spain.

Even coming back and starting again is a big step!
As some others have said sorrounding yourself with others that can relate and help is what you need to do. We can all relate and are here for you. You are worth it and drinking is not our friend. Even though it can pretend to be. One day every day. :heart_hands:

Aint that the truth…drinking is not our friend.

Set your intention. Make a promise to yourself that you won’t drink. Write down the pros and cons of drinking, my cons list was lengthy and my only pro was because it is easier. Choose the hard road this time. Read around on here to see what others have done and get back up if you fall down. If you need more community seek out a meeting.

Welcome back. I spent a ton of time on here when I found this place. Before that, I was in a quit and relapse cycle over and over for years. Took quite a hit to my confidence, self esteem and brain. I hated myself. Maybe come here and read old posts and see what has helped others and try some of that. I also kept a list of why I was quitting and what I wanted out of life (which was definitely not being a sloppy drunk and druggie). When I would get craving I would read that list, come on here and read, go for a long walk or bike ride or hit the gym or whatever else I could to just not use. The days add up if we can let them. Fight for your self, you are worth it.
