Strongly recommend CBT. My counselor probably saved my life. I’m on zero meds, just mental tricks I use when I’m stressed or in danger of relapse. 166 days and counting - it’s worked for me.
Toughest day so far yesterday I just felt down about things but I mostly pulled myself out of it and I wasnt really tempted to drink or anything just found it hard to focus on anything so I cleaned the house and threw out some clutter and read some things on my kindle to distract myself
Good job girl!!!
That’s a legitimate strategy
Congrats on the double digits! Inspiring to read your journey
Thank you
Way to go congratulations. You got this!

Get it girl!

Outstanding!!
¥ how are you doing ?
Not good thanks for asking though
What’s wrong , do you wanna talk about it ?
You can send a message if not In here, or there is a lot of people to talk to just shout out…
I myself am feeling like shit right now, coming back from a meeting that was really intense for me ,almost cried, couldn’t say a word. And had a shitty day today, received some troubling news …
I relapsed this week as well. Drank for 4 days straight. I’m sobering up and the first day is the hardest. I have the shakes and I know I’m going to be awake for a couple days. I’m having trouble finding people to talk to…this forum is good to read and find inspiration.
Welcome back. That first week or two is tough but youve done it before. Use what worked and try to figure out why you decided to drink again.
