This is embarassing....?!
Answers: Anyone have any ideas how I can quit drinking? I mean stop all together...I feel like it is a crutch now...I don't want to do it anymore. My husband likes to sit and have some beers and I can stay away from that...it is the wine that gets me....I can drink WAY too much! Does anyone have any words of encouragement or thoughts on how to do this? Thanks for your help!
Maybe you could try to break it down and say to yourself "just for today I will not drink. As in one day a week then two days per week and so on. Its great you have made this first step just don't see it as a huge hurdle take one day at a time. I wish you all the strength in the world to acheive this goalx
Hi Michelle,
I'm 41 and, about 6 years ago, was a mild alcoholic, teetering on getting worse. (I could tell you some horror stories!)
What changed me was meeting the woman who is now my wife. She didn't fix me...instead I fixed myself for her.
Please don't be offended, but I'd question the environment you are in. If you have made your concerns noted to your husband, he should recognize that his beer purchases is hurting and not helping you. I would think seriously about that, as much as I'm sure you don't want to.
ANY addict will tell you the FIRST goal is to remove yourself from the environment that is encouraging your addiction.
one day at a time and dont beat yourself up if there is a slip it happens i have to add one thing you say it's embarassing is that because we are adults and should know better im 53 and im still learning from my many mistakes it's called life we are not perfect good luck to u
First you have to find out if you really want to quit. If you are serious find out where there is the nearest alcohol anonymous and start going to meetings. signed clean for three years, one day at a time.
if you have a strong soul and have willpower =
go cold Turkey ,, there is no other way ,,
and of course the unconditional
support of your husband -,
let him prove himself to you,
how much he cares + loves you .
now is the time .
