I hope this helps! Keep reaching out to ask if it does not. You are doing great!
Well done on your two weeks and well done on resisting the temptation to drink at the pub.
I would advise caution, especially in early sobriety. I’m close to the two year mark and still avoid certain things like going out at night. Over the summer, I’d stay away from the nice bar/cafe terraces where people would always have a glass of wine in front of them. When I went to visit my husband’s home town, I avoided going to his local pub because of how much cocaine I used to snort in their bathroom. Walking in there may invoke some stupid nostalgia and, while the risk of relapse is low, it’s still there.
That doesn’t mean don’t have a social life, but just try to be mindful about the places where you could be triggered to think about drinking. And there’s loads of stuff you can do with people that doesn’t involve sitting around and drinking.
You have this huny day 1 does feel bad. But your not even addicted yet theres hope for us all, & more hope for you than most. Remember feeling sick & icky next time you want to drink.
Hey, @acromouse! I’m well! Sometimes, when I feel stressed or sad I want to send all to hell… But, I take breath, reminding how I been felt several times before, physically and emotionally and… I’m back on my sober path eating some sugar stuff hahaha. But now I’m going forward, looking forward… Christmas Eve and all that holidays … I’m not really sure that can handle it… Is a huge challenge
@Amy30 about the nostalgia… It’s crazy, isn’t it? How can be possible feel that? It’s crazy
And if, in your case, you have all that stuff bc your husband’s job… It’s a very very difficult battle to win.
Thanks aot for your words and super congrats for your strength and to be able to do all that you do for yourself and by yourself.
Ok! I’m on my 20 days sober journey! Today I’ve had some anxiety and a little desire to drink a cup of wine. You know? You feel anxiety for another reasons and need to relax with a cup of wine… My mother was drinking a cup of wine and part of me want to joint her…But I decided drink water, relax for myself and eat my lunch a bit sooner than always do.
So, yes! I’m going ahead to the thirty days! 20 in my pocket for now! Yiiiiiihaaaa!
@Sadie79 that’s awesome! I find it hard to abstain around others who are drinking so I am avoiding those situations for now.
Good luck-30 is coming soon!
