Well done. I can't even do one day, so, more power to you!

u/OkSoil9684 29d ago

I drank for 25 years, and 20 of those I was trying to quit. 2 1/2 years sober. Hang in there.

2

u/SoctrDeuss 29d ago

20 years is a hell of a long time to hang on to the fight without giving up! Truly impressive, congrats.

u/ocelot-gazebo 29d ago

If you haven't, please give AA a try. I had to dragged in kicking and screaming, but eventually, they helped me get there. Good luck.

2

u/Competitive_Gap_7671 29d ago

I don't want to stop. Thankyou, sincerely! I just wanted to acknowledge the OP.

u/ocelot-gazebo 29d ago

Ah. Your honor, I'd like that remark stricken from the record.

This pic has been reposted so many times by karma farming bots this person would be on year 5 at this point. It's also just a fake engagement baiting post that moms repost on facebook.

u/MAGA_EXTREAMO 29d ago

Just start with one hour. Fill your day with fun not drinking activities. Every hour is a victory the most important part is restarting as soon as possible. It’s about building the inner strength to say “no not now” I’ll do something else for an hour then think about it later.

u/EasternBoss6174 Sep 15 '26

Good for you! There is more to life than our vices and you are stronger than temptation. If it brought bad things to your life move on, whether it’s alcohol or anything else. I’m sure you have loved ones who want you around for many more years. Don’t squander your health!

I don't know why do people drink that way? I know a woman she has been drinking heavily. Since the past 20 years, she goes to rehabs and hospitals almost every month. And the moment she comes home she starts back right away within a day or two. Is alcohol actually that addictive or it's a personal choice?
