Hi everyone,

First of all I want to be thankful for your support and I am super grateful to have found a community where I can share my thoughts.

me and my partner are going on holiday today for 2 weeks and I am scared of drinking again. I haven’t done a single holiday so far with no drinking.

I am grateful that where we go drugs is fully inaccessible - at least of that I am sure.

just wanted to share 🙏

Happy holidays!  
Make a plan and keep up your daily recovery work. Be honest with your partner and ask for support. Remove yourself from situations where temptation can occur. And deliberately enjoy every sober moment, create new memories 😎🙏

Congrats on the opportunity to travel. I remember my first vacation sober. It feels odd not feeding into old habits but felt amazing to wake up refreshed and ready to explore. I highly recommend checking in regularly for accountability and support!

You can do this. Avoid triggers. Drink plenty of water and remember HALT if a craving comes. Ask yourself: am i Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired?

Hello everyone,

Thanks for checking in. I am ok. I haven’t used anything and kept my promises… nevertheless I feel so depressed.

I want to work out but I can’t really move .. I always feel tired.

Again thanks for Checking in.. I will go strong.
