Quit Drinking Quotes Month of October

Note: These are all my original quit drinking quotes.

Choose wisely.

• Recovery and relapse are just around the corner. Choose one and say hello.

You have two choices – A and B. You want to completely change your life for the better and keep at it? Choose A. You want to go back to the terrible life you had? Choose B. It is your decision. You always have a choice, (read also as decision). And your choice will dictate your future.


• Indeed, it is really difficult to stand firm and defy the cravings, unless, you have no feelings at all.

Craving for alcohol is a natural episode while you are quitting alcohol. These are part of withdrawal symptoms, (fortunately, these cravings are mild symptoms) that you will surely encounter when you try to rid of an addiction. My advice is to try preventing these cravings while it is still in the first stage, meaning – learn how to stop these cravings for alcohol in the early period before it develops into uncontrollable episodes. Personally, I was able to deal with these cravings by just making my mind busy all the time. There are many ways how you can forget about drinking – for example, there are lots of activities that can help you divert your thoughts to other useful things.

• You can’t drown your problems by means of alcohol. Problems are good swimmers, you know.

Many people drink alcohol to temporarily “forget” what they are going through. This behavior results to binge drinking, blackout episodes and hangovers. And to realize in the morning that their problems turn out to be more complicated than before. “Drinking alcohol to forget” is not the solution. It will only produce additional and bigger problems – worsening the situation which could have been settled earlier. If you have problems, be “man” enough to straighten things out. Be responsible with all your actions. And be courageous enough to win over these great swimmers of life.

• People who say that it is easy quitting alcohol are similar to bystanders in front of two guys playing chess.

It is simple for people who are not in the same shoes to say it is easy quitting alcohol. It is easy for them to tell you what you should and you should not do. You know yourself more than they do. You should stick with your plans and you should always consider your own instinct.

• If you allow depression to steps in, you will see a bottle of hard drinks in front of you and in your back, alcohol relapse laughing.

Avoid thinking about depression. Avoid thinking about hopelessness. You must always choose happiness. Once you feel depressed, cravings for alcohol will set in. You will suffer more due to the strong desire to have that drink because you want to “feel better”. There are other helpful things to make you feel better. Enjoy being with someone. Enjoy talking with your loved ones. Without alcohol.

Always put in mind that depression will only make you feel old and blue. Focus your mind on quitting alcohol and make it an “enjoyable” experience. Take it one day at a time. Once you surpassed the first critical stages, you will notice that you are automatically become accustomed with the process.
