Answers:

Yes. I was an alcoholic for a number of years. I managed to stop by myself. It wasn't easy - but I was pregnant and |I had to decide to start living again for my sake and the sake of my unborn child. It was like the death of my old way of life and with it came grief and uncertainty but as time went by each day became easier. You can do it if you really want to do it. You have to want it more than anything else in the world. The first step is always the hardest. For me the first step was deciding I was out of control and I had to take control again. I finished my last bottle and said No more, I stuck to it and it was hard at first but drinking is a response, its something youve used as part of a bad coping strategy and if you give it up you will not have that to run back to or hide in next time there is a problem. I found facing life sober hurt a lot at first, now I just get on with it and I know I have grown emotionally as a result and that is a good thing. I am a stronger person and I have actually found out I like being sober.
If your will to succeed is strong enough, you can do it.
Just make the decision and stick to it. Have a motivation. Think about how your life will be without it, how much better you will be. And you will be in control. Thats something to look forward to. A life where you are in control without the drink clouding your perception of reality and no more poison in your body.
Give it a go, I think youll like the result.
