It’s been seven days since I decided to stop drinking and so far I’m doing well. I haven’t had much pressure or opportunities to though, so I don’t count it as much of an achievement. I met with my psychiatrist last week to talk about my bipolar medication and she was happy to hear about my sobriety because now we can see how my brain really works when it’s not constantly drowned in depressants. It’s helpful to remember that I’m doing this for my mental health. It’s so weird, I’ve had two dreams where I accidentally drink because somehow I forgot that I’m doing this and then I feel horrible and freak out. Don’t want that feeling in real life. Anyways, Io don’t think this next week should be too challenging but I’m already worried about the holidays. One day at a time I guess. How’s everyone else doing?

Congrats on your first week. I have 41 days and this weekend cravings were high.
Thanks! Aw man 
what triggers your cravings?
Boredom, loneliness, cooking, all most everything I do. I get through my day and I try to redirect myself when cravings do come up.
@coco congratulations on 7 days. That is an accomplishment. Don’t doubt it for a second. Even though no opportunities came up where Alcholol was offered, you still have a choice. Alcholol is everywhere! You made the choice of sobriety and that is a huge first step.
You are right about seeing the psychiatrist and letting him/her know about your decision to live a sober life. I am excited for you to get to know who you really are.
