Feeling a relapse is imminent

Hey there! About month 9 i stuggled really hard. I did everything possible not to pick up that first drink. For me, by 9 months i viewed it as a choice. I could choose to relapse, I could to choose change what needed to be changed and stay sober.

I want to thank you all so much for the talk and support. It got me through the day and I feel that the craving has past. If not for you guys I might have relapsed probably.
So again, huge thanks. :slight_smile::heart:

Hi!
I am so glad you realize the way this place can be utilized as your community.
I quit drinking 3.5 years ago. My husband did not. There is always alcohol in our home.
I have to remind myself often that my sobriety has nothing to do with him, and his drinking has nothing to do with me.
It is up to me, every day, to make that decision not to drink. His decisions and actions should have no effect on my ability to say no. He can hand me a drink, and it is still up to me to decide what I do with it.
It is possible to do it, and I hope you come here for strength any time you are feeling like you can’t. I promise you can.
