My pop up for this app came up on my phone and it said 18 days sober. Unbelievable!! I haven’t ever posted, mainly because of time restraints of working and being a widowed mother of a teenager with a disability… I’m an alcoholic who lives really good craft beer!! But when I couldn’t stop at 1 or 2 and then drank weeknights, and then weekdays while my son was at school, I knew I had a problem. But there were enablers and I always got in the way with thoughts of “it’s a beautiful day out and no one is home, I can sit outside and enjoy a cocktail before anyone gets home”… Before you know it, I’m blackout driving to get more alcohol from wherever.
Since I stopped, I’m getting things done and not putting them off… Bills, doctors appointments, work stuff, etc. I have more clarity and better relationships with my kids. And I go to sleep and wake up without guilt or a headache and hangover. I used alcohol as an escape from serious issues in my life. And there is always a trigger to have just one drink… But I keep preoccupying myself, or check in here and read stories… And now I’m 18 days sober and going strong!!!
congratulation. The addiction is crasy its insaine. I too have done some pretty bad because of it in my past. You doing a Great job. Keep it up. Embrase life . Be the boss of your life .
