I have a really tough day at work today, customers spoke horrible to me as if I wasnt a human being and not allowed to make mistakes. My normal coping mechanism has been to have a drink when I get this upset, had it not been the support of my fiancee as well as cooling myself down, I probably be at the bar. But instead, I went home and talked about how upset it made me and now we are taking an evening walk. Really proud of myself for overcoming the urge and craving, and for the support I have. I feel much better talking it out then drinking. (Talking about my emotions has always been really challenging and hard for me my entire life)

Good for you Kayla. I’m not one to talk about emotions either. It’s always easier to just drink. Stepping out of our comfort zone is what’s gonna keep us sober because what we’ve done in the past hasn’t helped. I’m happy to hear you made it through and it’s nice to hear you have support from your fiancee. Keep up the hard work.
