Little wins :)

I dont mean for this to come across as big headed or braging, I just wanted to share a small victory because i believe that its important to recognise every little win no matter how small :heart: im newly sober, made it 6 days so far. Finished work about half an hour ago and I had a massive craving for drink/drugs. I managed to drive myself home and not go to the shops to buy drink (even though the little voice in my head was doing a very good job of convincing me it would be a good idea!) Im grateful im not going to feel like crap tomorrow :relieved: hope anyone reading this gets their little win today too!

Thats a big win! Its really hard in the very early days…i remember going to the off licence where i always used to go for my booze after about a month of sobriety …embarrasingly they knew me and instantly would reach for my bottle of vodka on sight of me…i walked in on purpose, got a bottle of milk and said no i dont need the vodka thank you…i dont drink anymore! I did that as part of my recovery and it felt amazing…the shop keeper congratuled me xx

Good job. Every journey starts with 1 step. Im on 11 days but i had my own little win today. I had lunch at a bar with friends the ones that do harder stuff and drinking beers and i just ordered sweet tea and we had a normal conversations. I felt so good driving home.

Fighting the voices in the presence of the triggers early in the game is a big win in my opinion. You’re a killer, stay hard!
