Why you're doing this

Day 1. You pressed play. That took more than you think.

I'm not going to lecture you. I know how this goes. The promises made on a Sunday morning and broken by Friday night. So let's keep this simple. You're not quitting forever today. You're not drinking today. That's it.

Before anything else, one thing I need you to hear. If you drink heavily every day, or if you've had shakes, sweats, or worse when you stopped before, talk to a doctor before you stop. Stopping suddenly can be dangerous, and there's no shame in getting help with it. There's also a free national helpline, open all day and all night. One eight hundred, six six two, four three five seven. Meetings, counseling, a doctor, all of it works alongside what we do here. Use it.
