Hi, I need help. Anything will help me right now, because I’m not so much far away from to really relapse in it, but I still fight for being sober.
I’m an (ex) alcoholic, I’m now 7 months clean from alcohol. I want to stay it like that, but things right now aren’t going that good and I really want to drink something to feel that ‘peace’…
I need any advice, tips, ideas or motivation how to stay sober from alcohol. How I said before, anything will help me right now.

Will it be a long lasting “peace” you will feel from using? Or will it be a temporary fix to worldly problems? Dont let the lying addictive thoughts get you! Try meditation. Try a walk. Address if you are hungry, angry, lonely, or tired. (H.A.L.T.)

Remember: alcohol does not offer peace. It pushes your emotions and your stresses off another day. And they won’t go anywhere. They might get worse in that time.
Sign off from the illusion that alk has anything to offer you.
Pick a two or three resources and give them a go. I liked the Recovery Elevator and The Recovering a lot. Resources for our recovery
No need to drink. No need.
