Love the support this forum is showing.. and like me I would of never guessed going by your avatar and posts. So proud of you for asking for help.. Guy, you have given me years worth of awsome posts to read.. Alcohol is a drug and it's mentioned in the AA Big Book. Guy you need to get some medical attention to monitor your blood pressure / pulse if your planning on trying to go cold turkey, and I hate saying this but going through the Dt's could kill you. Family can take care of your store for now as your the #1 priority. Have them make the phone calls to the list given to you. It's one day at a time, thats all it takes..
Dear Father God, in a world where many people are struggling to overcome the curse of alcoholic addiction, we lift up Guy that have been ensnared by this ungodly dependence on drink, which has too often been the root cause of many ruined lives and numerous dysfunctional families. We pray that in Your grace and pity You would come alongside these alcoholic sufferers who have this serious dependency on alcohol and ask that You would create in them a dislike and distain for all forms of alcoholic drinks Lord, You died for each one on the cross for each one is lost and en-route for eternal separation from You, if they do not turn away from their dependency on drink to depend on Christ as Saviour – and Lord we know that in Your power and strength You have all that is needed for each and every sufferer to be set free from this alcoholic dependency. We pray that in Your grace You would draw Guy out of this slavery to drink and give him new dependency - trust in Jesus, Who died for all who would believe on His name.. and in Whose name we pray, Amen
The fact that you can come on here and ask for help shows your strength! As with anything, getting started is the hardest part. You just have to keep going. I started going down that road at the beginning of covid in 2020. I realized, like you have, that it was becoming a problem and that changes needed to be made. That's when I started searching for projects to work on to distract myself that require being sober. Riding my motorcycle, fitness, and studying became my alcohol. I also unsubscribed from the online game I was playing where my mates and I would drink at night and play. That was a big help as well. The last thing was when I started calculating savings earned from not buying booze or beer. That money could go into my other projects! Someone with the strength you have displayed is beyond capable of redirecting that energy onto the right path
