Hi coorski, I think the biggest obstacle that I had trying to quite drinking was the constant and unreasonable rationalization of my behavior. Like many Alcoholics, I never had a DUI. Although, if I had, I really don't think it would have done any good. I felt I had prepared the best that I could for my demise. So I was ready to pass if the time came. I was very selfish. I now realize that maintaining a life style, paying the bills exetra was just masking and enabling my addiction. Causing me to become fatalistic about life in general. In general, my outlook currently is great. Partly because I am less controlling, more, optimistic, and more selfaccepting of my circumstances both now and in the past. My advice to you is to quite listening to the excuses in your head. Just don't go there. Replace it with another thought process. Think about the consequences of your actions. The conequences of end stage liver disease. Bleeding out from a esophageal varasies. A ugly way to die. Blood everywhere and very hard to overcome. Acidies, your body swells up like a balloon including your junk. Just try putting a couple of gratefriut in your jock strap for a day and see how you feel. The worst body cramps that will make you wish you were dead. When and if you are lucky enough to quite drinking for six months then you are in the death zone. If you are lucky, you will be eligible for a liver transplant. Then the guilt starts. Look what you did. It's all on you. QUIT BEFORE ITS TOO LATE.
