Damn i want a drink

[Matt]

Totally normal. That is the addict voice lying to you.

Time to dig into sobriety tools:

What's in your sobriety toolbox?

In my purse I carry a letter I wrote to myself on the morning after I quit drinking. It talks about how worthless I felt, how I hated myself, how very suck I was - physically and mentally. I pull it out when I’m in bad head space and hear the voice of a drink. I also keep my most recent AA coin with me to hold if I need a reminder of why I do what I do. This forum is a big part of my toolbox. I promised myself early on that I would reach out here and ask for help before I ever drink again. …

Keep talking here, keep sharing. That voice will try to convince you to withdraw. Do the opposite.
