I have been in one of my moods all day n all I want to do is drink my damn life a way!!! I have been doing good n Iām proub of myself but tonite is a hard ass nite!!! When I have always been in this mood I would just drink into I canāt remember shit!!! Yes at that time it helps!!! What yāall do when you are in ur moods???
When Iām feeling moody, I tell myself that āThis too shall passā. Feelings donāt last. Making the choice to feel my way through no matter how uncomfortable it is and reach out to someone that will tell me it will be okayā¦just donāt drink. Do I want back the consequences of past behavior or do I want to just scream in a pillow or cry in the shower? Tomorrow morning, do I want to wake up with a hellish hangover and full of regret and still have the problems lingering or do I want to be proud that I fought through the bullshit that happens in life? We are not immune from lifeās difficulties but weāre also not alone. Itās going to be okayā¦just donāt drink Donāt be willing to give away your hard earned sobriety for a bad day. You know how it will turn out. Youāre a fighterā¦keep fighting.
Go take a hot shower, make yourself some tea, and listen to some good music. @Kassie82
No I donāt want all that back in my life!!! It feels good to not wake up with hungover from hell!! I made a call to one of my bestfriends n she on way now!!
I have always been someone that stay to myself n donāt let people in my personal business!! I just really let everyone know today that Iām trying live a sober life!!! Everyone was proud of me n there tonite itās like Iām in a fight of my life!! But I did open up tonite to her!!! But hardest thing is I came to a bar and Iām sitting outside of it when I made the call to her!!! She told me to do nothing n wait on her, she be here ASAP!! I came to this group because I can talk in here n be myself
Exactly. I think weāve all been in a similar situation. Itās great that you tell people closest to you your truth. We donāt need to do any of this alone. This is a battle and we need all the support we can get. Iām proud of you for not giving in to āthe monsterā We relate to one another.
Thanks ma!! This first time I been sober this long in along ass time!!!
I get on here. Read cool posts, inspiring ones, one like your where you share how you want to drink, then i think, āokay⦠im not going crazy bc others feel like i do.ā
i binged on chocolate last nite thou⦠had to have sugar. oh man. but im sober still so i just remember to always be thankful!

Yes! Thank you for your strong and inspiring thoughts. I really needed them as well.
@mindscape that y I love this group n I see Iām not alone in this fight!!! But this is best app I have on my phone, I come on here everyday n I may not talk to you guys like some of the other people that is in here but I read alot of u guys stuff n Iām telling you one thing now!! You guys helped me in more way u will never know!!! But Iām happy to say Iām still on this road to SOBER LIFE DAY 35 !!! THANKS YALL FOR BEING HERE FOR ME LAST NITE!!
Iām in the same boat today! Hope you are still holding strong
Actually, I am that way right now. I have that craving for some whiskey
Kassie82, you are doing brilliant!! I am nearly 14 days in and also having a moody day, have been for a walk, done the ironing, watched a film, fell asleep and all without drinking, now reading this app to remind me why I stopped drinking, anything to distract, change mood etc. This too will pass is a great thought. Keep going, the sun will rise tomorrow and you will be glad you stayed strongš
Hey Kassie I feel ya. In truth the only help so far for me is to focus on the fact that drinking only wrecks my life therfore giving it up is not a sacrifice. always easier said then done I know, but the more I tell myself im missing out on something the harder it is to fight. So I remind myself Im only āmissing outā on feeling angry and trapped so that helps. Praying for you and continued success !
So much love for this
Just stay focused!! The other nite I was in a dark place n back of my mind alcohol was calling my name but the other side was telling me u got this n donāt let it take over ur life again!!! So I cryed n let it all out , y I was in my car at bar waiting on my bff to get me!! I went and got me a bottle of water and down it like I do my drinks!!! Lol
My first 15 days I was so moody!! All I was doing was crying n wanted to tell everyone around me off!!! I kind thinking I locked myself away in my room for week are two because I didnāt want no one to know what I was going through because I always let myself down when I try to be sober!!! But Iām back to myself these days but Iām happy as hell (sorry)lol
Well said Johnny99 n same to you too!!
