Im an alcoholic ...The only way I stay free is asking Jesus most everyday to help me. When the urge hits I have a verse I use...it is
2 Corinthians 10:5
King James Version
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
thanks for such support, pedes! I think we pedes tend to have different kinds of minds and constitutions, and for a while alcohol was the only way I felt I could 'normalize' and fit in with others... but why the Hell would I wanna do that? ;)
Go to a meeting or check into an IOP rehab for some help. I am about to be done with "After Care" Rehab in a month and I can tell you that there are probably multiple things affecting from outside sources. Sometimes it becomes to much to bare, but you don't want to fuck up your life for few glasses of poison.
You owe it to yourself and all of us to keep it together. This is an historic time. We will need your participation, your skills and your will. Keep them sharp. What's coming is what you have been preparing for all this time. Don't sacrifice all that for a substance that hates you and is unworthy of your attention.
Hang in there brother, im with you. Its time to think clearly, pray and be the best version of you. I battled addiction too, exact same timeline ( thats why i felt like i should comment) we are in a spiritual war and the devil wants youto slowly kill yourself through pharma/alcohol. Try some all natural stuff to take the edge off ( CBD, Kratom and Kava) helped me deal with issues and urges to use. God bless you and may He Bare you up and comfort you
Don’t listen to this guy. Go to meetings and don’t I m up any substance. CBD and Kratom leads back to drinking and drugging. This is terrible advice.
Stay sober. A drink will only be a temporary fix and will consume you. Dont forget we can stop being nice now. I never struggled, but it runs in the family. I quit over a year ago. I thought about drinking again, I realized I can stop being polite, they already labled us as "terrorists", they have nothing else. you will get past it.
It helps if you can replace the craving with a healthy habit. If I get the urge to overdrink I'll chug 24oz of water and wait a few minutes, usually does the trick. I realise many people have the problem worse than me, but we're all in this together.
Go to a meeting, call your sponsor, or post here like you are doing. That’s the first step and you nailed it. We all feel the urge to drink again, some more often and more intense than others.
You got this dude. Don’t flush away 4 years over some BS out of your control.
I was almost going to say give in, this situation calls for it... but knowing that this is a real problem you’ve faced and are facing successfully one day at a time. Keep fighting!!!
Your friend Bill
Just simply voicing your problem is proof you don’t want it, so don’t! Without it you have done better, nothing worth having ever comes easy, you deserve better. It’s easier to stay where you are then to have too try and quit again, just don’t do it. You stopped because you’re strong.
So many faggots in this thread. Too many to respond too actually. Being an alchy means you don’t do JACK SHIT but go to meetings and ask God and fellowship for help. No weed, no CBD, no substances at all ( except ripping buts and coffee ). It’ll lead you right back to a drink. GO TO A FUCKING MEETING!
This may look down now but, remember, they will look even more down if you give in and fall back to that prior destructive behavior. You've made it this far with sobriety, may as well keep going. I'm wishing you the best of luck!
My dad has been sober for 38 years. My mom told me how mean and angry he always was. She told him straight on that she would leave him and he quite cold turkey.Hold the fucking line for your future! You will not be disappointed. Tell that devil you will not let him destroy you again. You are strong and an amazing person to tell your story. I will pray for you tonight my friend.... the best is yet to come of your life....trust in God!
Stay strong! We need our side sober & smart.
Our greatest president lived his entire life sober.
You can do it too fren.
Stay strong. Remember why you stopped.
Hang in there man!
You got this đź’Ş
Stay strong! I'm currently in that battle and it is good to see others overcoming it.
Spend sometime in prayer and don’t give into the temptation.

Not worth it - stay sober. No freedom when you are trapped inside the bottle.

Meetings dont help bad withdrawals, i mean as a way pf getting through the rough patches. Pot doesn't hurt either.
Got to detox then or how about don’t be a wimp? Pot always leads back to a drink for a real alchy.
