I tried SMART meetings. I felt as if the people there had significantly worse trauma and alcoholism than me and it made me feel like since I wasn't as bad as them that I should still be able to keep drinking. When I have stopped drinking in the past, focusing on what's wrong with me doesn't help me focus on the positives and moving forward. Everyone is different though.
You think if I could, that I just wouldn't? No. I have been trying for years and can't. I may not get withdrawal symptoms, but the societal pressures and habits drive me back to it.
I'd rather become a Buddhist and change my perspective which will eventually help me.
That's awesome. I'll get there soon, I hope.
Your very first sentence is very correct. "I dunno…" Yeah. You don't. You followed it up with a bunch of "I, me, my" and can't understand that someone may have a different issue than you.
I don't drink daily. I'm a binge drinker. I convince myself that it will only be a few this weekend and go on a bender every time. I can't stop lying to myself. I keep telling myself I'll quit next weekend and do it all over again. Cut back? I cut back every week.
I'm no expert, and I'm more than skeptical. I'm positive this motherfucker is up to no good.
If alcohol came out today, it would be illegal. It kills more people than all drugs combined. It's terrible for you and 10% of drinkers account for 90% of all alcohol sales. I just wish I could stop.
You are going to die someday relatively soon.

I've noticed that recently too. I watched "Life in Pieces" recently and it's like every other scene this family is drinking.
