The beginning was rough but now Iām in an amazing place.
The biggest thing for me was to tell myself not today every day.

Hello everyone! I stop by to celebrate that my hands no longer shake or have chills after 3 very hard days of abstinence.
I donāt feel like drinking, but I havenāt even left the house yet and Iām very scared to face being in front of a bottle again. For the moment I have decided not to go anywhere where there is alcohol, until the deeper work is ingrained.
I have a lot to doā¦ and to be honest there is a voice (the voice of the addict) that tells me that I am not going to get it.
But that was not the voice that made me decide to stop and that voice will continue to guide me. My own self.
I have to rediscover who I am. alcohol made me lose track of my own personality.
thanks for your posta and your good advice.
I read you with interest

@RosaCanDo That is exactly the thing to share. We need to know moments of weakness, automation, etc, happen, so if or when they happen to us we are not surprised or feel alone. You did great, I am so happy u are on the sober train still with us all!

Proud of you for taking action, in the past Iāve had like out of body experiences and Iām suddenly drinking and had no control over buying it. The insanity of the alcoholic mind never ceases to amaze me but your higher power cut in or you basically came to your senses, all the same well done and another day sober

As much as I am now a believer in taking action there are times in those early days when if you donāt know what to do then do nothing at all. Sometimes I would want a drink so bad that I wouldnāt even get out of a chair bc I knew if I moved I would drink. Your doing great and your 100% correct it really does get easier, just donāt leave before the miracle happens.

I grew up in Michigan! I can relate, and it is like that here in Northern Iowa, too. One thing Iām grateful for is there is more sun hereā¦Michigan is so damn gray!

Hey family,
If youāre the praying sort, send out one for Kathleen, my mom, this evening. She is in the ER at the moment with some cognitive issues. Not really sure what is going on yet.
Thank you!

Day 307. After a terribly anxious night, I woke up this morning and realized that I donāt have to drink if I donāt want to. For a few days, I was really feeling as if I had no say in the matter. I would HAVE to drink while I was away on my trip. But I donāt, damn it! As long as I say no to the first drink, Iāll be fine.
