I started this a week or so ago and I only made it 3 days. I drink when I get stressed and I’m stressed a lot. I’m going to try again I’ve made it one day so far and I’m just going to take it a day at a time and I have a goal to make it to 7 days. After 7 days I’ll set a goal to go another 7. So set the goals small day by day and see how far I can go. Alcohol is everywhere. And it really makes me unproductive and not reach my full potential. It dulls my emotions and it makes me not care if the house is a mess or if things get put on the back burner. I really hope to do better this time. Thank you for listening.

I felt silly… thinking since I didn’t make it long to go back to drinking so easily. It was disappointing. Like “shit, i do have a problem”. But you have to keep at it! Day two (again) almost over!
Also, we are on the same day. Let’s beat our records this time.
When I started drinking a lot it was usually to damper strong emotions. But that is a terrible habit, because then you don’t know how to handle a stressful situation without drinking. The trick is to teach your self how to deal with stress/depression sober, because the only thing drinking does is temporarily numb you to a situition and destroy your life. I am am buddhist myself, and being mindful and doing daily meditation has completely changed my life.I would definitely recommend it
I agree! That’s me . Really dealing with the stress is tough. Working in planning some good healthy goals.
