Just hit 10 days. I have got this far before but then fallen off the wagon so to speak. It might not be a huge milestone compared to others but it is for me. Today I did struggle and had to really work hard about not picking up a drink. I focussed on the feelings I have after a drink, the hangovers, the remorse, the worry about what I did or what I said and told myself that I didn’t want to put myself through that anxiety for the sake of just having a drink. Stay strong people.

Amazing stuff
I think it’s cool you reminded yourself of the pain drinking caused you
I think it will good to remember how you felt 10 days ago
If you pick up will you quit sobriety or “drink normal” or go on a binge spree
Or
Will you be back to day 1 of sobriety
I have 13 days after years of trying to stop. I did it completely wrong
I ALWAYS came back to sobriety
Because sobriety feels better then under the influence
You stopped drinking for a reason.
If I go out to drink I might not come back because of a lot of reasons including getting hurt or worse
Remember what day 1 felt like

Thank you for your kind works and advice.
I don’t think I could be a social drinker. I never drank every day, I was more a binge drinking a couple of times a week. And when I drank I really drank to the point where I would pass out and have no recollection.

Ah yes. Remorse. Sometimes I think blackouts are our brains way of sparing us from details of our shame.
I am having troubles journaling. It doesn’t help that I am lazy. I use voice to text. It doesn’t work well with this app. Many of my journal entrails are incomprestenchable.
