In the past I have tried to stop drinking many times. What ended up happening each time, is I would make it a few days, but if I had a drink say on the 3rd day, I would feel like a failure & extremely discouraged! This would make me think, "screw it" or "I can't do it" and ultimately I would go buy beer feeling like a failure- again. Since being on this site, I have found that I am looking at this from a new perspective and I am very happy about it! It makes me realize that for some of us, this is a journey & some days we are able to resist, and maybe some days we can't, but that does not mean we/I have failed! I just joined a few days ago, and I now feel that just making any attempt to make lifestyle changes to better myself is progress. :) ..... It took me 15 years to develop this problem, and I am no longer going to fault myself for not being able to just stop one day completely
