This is the first time I've seen this sub after stumbling upon it in the r - cringe section. I've been struggling the past year taking a month off and then slowly starting again, creeping up to blackout nights and realizing that I need to kick the habit again. While I don't think that I am physically addicted I am habitually addicted and certainly a binge drinker. I had been clean of alcohol for the past month until a friend left a bottle at my house leading my wife to put some whiskey in the decorative snifter this weekend. I am too nervous to talk to her about how weak I am about this issue. I had 4 drinks last night and 3 the night before that and two before the night that Etc... I just had two glasses of whiskey before seeing this post. I poured myself a third, sat down and read what you wrote. It was so simple but it helped me to remember how much nicer it feels waking up after a good sleep. I threw my whiskey down the sink and drained our decorative snifter. I would have woken up tomorrow after having five or more glasses of whiskey but thanks to you my Friday will be much better than had I not read this post. Cheersless.
