My story about abstinence

Your Story

Hi everyone,

I’m new to this app

I started drinking after confinement in France in 2020.

After this confinement I continued the aperitifs in visio and I started to drink alone.

And in record time, I started drinking at any time of day. I just wanted it too much. I quickly put myself in danger too.

I managed to go 10 months without drinking, but I’ve relapsed since last October.

Today I’ve been sober for 25 days and I’m proud of it.

What are your methods for resisting your addiction when you feel like it?

I think back often about my personal misery wheel and the work it took to stay drunk all the time. Helps ground me and reinforce this is the easier and softer way to live.

Right on with 25 beauties! So glad you’re here, friend.

I drank everyday on good and bad days. I drank just to get through another day. Congrats on 25 days and you should be very proud of yourself! You already know that this journey is a rough one but so worth it. I had some really bad things happen when I got sober. If I did not drink through any of those times, I know I will be okay. Learn what triggers you. That process can be a really hard one. Triggers of mine have made me realize how much trauma I have tried to forget about by drinking and not have to feel emotions. You got this my friend!
