Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life.

You did the right thing by throwing out the remaining booze. Having it that close is a huge trigger, one you would surely cave in on, eventually.

Good luck!

I did the opposite. I kept the booze around testing my will power. Looking back it was not a good idea.

Good luck on your new attempt. I had many day ones before I was able to quit for good. Hang in there.

Once the booze was thrown out I had to figure out a few things , like why I was drinking... I had no coping skills. I was a weakling.

It took a lot of soul searching and work but today I don't seek refuge from life in a bottle.

Thank you, I needed this reminder. "Just one night" could very turn into my very last night.
Ridding the booze was not easy, I know. That took courage. Keep it up and keep coming here. We all care about your well-being.

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
