Hello friend. What did you do to earn two months sober? That’s excellent work! I wish I could get past 3 or even 5 days and I can’t seem to. I did meetings but I started using zoom instead- I’ve got do a better job processing high risk situations and thoughts…
You can do this, and stay on here, it’s a great place lots of help, your not alone
Alcohol/addiction is just the symptom of our disease. I personally had to unpack all my bullshit, and boy… there wasn’t enough shovels by myself. I had a bunch of unresolved conflict, resentments, anger, guilt and shame. I needed help! I had to seek something greater than myself will to find a solution. I was stuck in my own vicious cycle of hell. I had to start working a program to get results and make progress. Not drinking isn’t being sober for me.
I hate alcohol too. You aren’t a failure because you relapsed you just haven’t unlocked your addiction puzzle yet.
There are a lot of wise people on this site who are very successful at staying sober. Early in my days here I was told that I can only control my first drink. Once I have that first drink it leads to 3 drinks and then 6 drinks and then all the drinks my body can hold. So don’t take that first drink. Everyday.
When a drink sounds tempting or you start to think you will just have one drink and stop get on this site and ask for help.
Make your goal to put a sober head on your pillow every night and use the good people here to keep you accountable. Welcome, get to quitting. It’s really nice on the sober side. Let us know what you need.
I love this, and it’s so true. We all have different paths to recovery, but there are similarities in all of our paths. Getting a good recovery plan in place is key. Glad you are here and welcome!
It takes a while to click but when it does there is a freedom. I like knowing that I cannot drink anymore, trying to moderate was exhausting. The key for me is to know that the first drink is never one and it’s really never a drink, it’s an escape. No more first drinks and no more escape gives me the best present.
I truly believe i got so used to escaping i didnt really know what i was even trying to escape from or if it was even necessary in the end lol crazy times
Exactly! It takes a few days or weeks to realize what you were even trying to avoid in the first place.
