day 502 :coffee:
Feeling a little bit better and happy with that! :confetti_ball:
Had my share of cravings when I felt sick. It’s one of the old habits: I feel sorry for myself so I deserve a drink. But the good thing is: I know I can’t. So it’s not even an option.
Watch out @zzz, you’re on the danger path. Even when it’s just a few. I’ve been there too after 5 years sober. It costed me one and a half year of drinking :pensive:

Glad you had a nice time. I used to think the exact same but when you’re sober and you look around you realise that not everyone drinks. It’s just us that obsess over wine. :woman_shrugging:t3::rofl:

Today is 15 months to the day of my first AA meeting. I had struggled through a couple weeks before that and the soul crushing feeling of how impossibly hard it felt drove me to a surrender of sorts. It’s a beautiful thing to realise that I don’t need to drink today. :two_hearts::bird:
