Need support! Help! Don’t know what to do

Hello! I am 163 days sober from alcohol. I was abstaining from pot too (made it 4 months), but recently relapsed there and have been having a hard time finding my off switch again.

I’ve maintained my alcohol free streak and I’m very proud of this. I’m terrified of drinking because I’m afraid it’ll be hard to stop if I have “just one glass of wine to take the edge off”

My cravings have been slowly creeping up over the last couple of weeks getting stronger and stronger and I feel like I’ve been having a constant back and forth with the addictive voice in my mind.

I don’t know what to do! Ahhhhh. I feel so close to breaking, but I really don’t want to (but part of me wants to?)

I’ve saved so much money over the last couple of months.

Feeling exhausted.

Any words of encouragement or advice would be appreciated. Help!

List out all the reasons why you quit in the first place. Remember all the times when you had too much, what happened? Who have you hurt by doing that, what do you stand to loose by doing it again this time? We all know it doesn’t stop at just one, so play it forward, picture yourself having too much and all the mistakes you will make when you inevitably do. Do you really want that?
