Proud of you.
Knowing there will be a fight is good, talking about it here is great.
Have any AA spots in your area? Might want to check in.
Connect or just be there is always good.
One day, one moment at a time.
Switching to journaling is good, tough, but good.
It’s a long road, but try and just keep it simple at most times. Looking from the bottom of a mountain can be daunting, but looking at the next step is always doable.
But yeah, no alcohol in the house, no bars. If you order food from a place that serves alcohol. Best to just order for pick up and go.
Let go of things you used to drink and do too, for now, drinking friends may disappear, let them.
But, remember, you have to still find good connections, people that are sober. Some can beat addiction by themselves, but being in the mind to long sucks.
Also, as the time goes on, find something youre interested in. It’ll help. Youll learn something new, and itll help see there is more to this world.
Those are a couple ideas. Take some, or non.
Fight the good fight. Its worth it, to not be chained.
Also, emotions may be everywhere early on.
Sad
Angry
Hopeless.
Aggression
Joy
Happiness
Hopeful.
Every moment will change.
Thats being a human.
No need to drink about it.
Lastly, i’m 4.5 years sober. Went back and am doing the deeper stuff.
Also, when people get that natural feel good, make sure you check you inner, enjoy it, but see what you’re self destruction idea feels like.
Lots of people, including myself, once i felt so good. I would go and ruin it. By drinking.
Something to ponder, because it comes quicker than one thinks.
