Alcohol withdrawals (feel like crying)

[LigottiSchopenhauer]

I did drink tonight. I apologize to everyone. I felt like I had to

I did too. Even though the fun drinking days that I feel nostalgia for are long gone, there's still this part of me that feels the urge to keep drinking. All I can do is just try to drink less and less. What I've learned is that sobriety isn't instant. It's a process, and people like you and me who struggle with alcohol should just try our best every day to not drink and loosen our reliance on this worthless poison. I'm trying to treat myself with kindness, because quitting alcohol is enormously difficult for people who have a dependence on it. Even though I'm drunk right now I hope my words provide some comfort to you

keep going mate! The first 2 months are the hardest, but it eases up.
You're doing wonderfully. I have so much respect for you.

I stopped cold turkey almost 4 years ago. I was a black out drunk. I feel so much better physically. My circulation improved and went back to normal. Bloating went away.

There's gonna come a point where it doesn't feel weird anymore not to drink.
Lots of love

Why not gradually decrease the amount?
