Whoever posted the other day about self-sabatoge and how when sober and things are going well we ruin it for no reason, thank you. Found that very inspiring!

I relapsed twice because I knew I would eventually drink again. My alcoholic brain convinced me that I should drink before I got so far into sobriety that family and friends would find it tragic that I picked up a drink again. My disease is always finding creative ways to kill me. Single handed combat against it is futile! I can’t but WE CAN.

I remember my prior stint at sobriety I got an overwhelming feeling of fear and anxiety that alcohol was going to creep in that I was going to lose and fall back into the hell I lived in. I gave in and ended up in shambles. Now a little over 5 months sober, I have worked a lot harder this time. To tell that voice that it is not stronger than my mind or the person in me that doesn’t want to drink more than anything else.
Tat being said thoughts do arise and pop out of no where and they are uncomfy and remind me that I need to be on my toes with the alcoholic part of my brain at all times.
