Welcome to Talking Sober, and know that your two days so far are a big deal!
Why isn’t that enough to keep me from drinking again? Why isn’t this horrible feeling enough?
The bad news is the same as the good news. Logic and relationships are not sufficient to stop an alcoholic from drinking. But there is plenty you can do to address your alcoholism and build your sobriety. Good news/ bad news is “because you’re an alcoholic.”. Just like me.
You have gotten great feedback so far on how to get and stay sober. And I hope you do that before you have to suffer the kinds of losses, material, psychological, physical and spiritual that so many of us had to experience. No matter what happens, remember that sobriety can always begin right where you are. Blessings on your house as you begin your journey.
as you begin your journey.
