If I had relied on sheer will power to quit drinking, I wouldn't have lasted 3 weeks nevermind 300+ days.
Will power is finite and when I hear people say they're just going to gut it out, I rarely feel confident that they will make it.
I'm no expert on this subject and never want to pretend to be or try to project that. All I can do is share my own experience.
The things that helped me the most at the start and throughout were
- Have a vision for something better
- Be clear on where this ends up if I don't deal with it (as Jordan Peterson says "what sort of hell will you create for yourself"
- A handful of people I knew I could count on no matter what (probably the most important)
- Going to bed as early as possible. Night time was when I wanted to drink.
- Understanding and coming to terms with the reality that, as Dr. Gabor Mate says, " All addiction is rooted in trauma and unresolved pain." I had to face what was eating me up from the inside out that I didn't even know was there.
I hope you find this helpful. Please let me know if you did. Your comments and feedback is my fuel and I wouldn't do this if it weren't for knowing that it was making a difference in the lives of others, so please let me know!
