Relapse hurts the most but they can be the best motivator. 91 resets means 91 attempts. Keep trying, keep sharing your story. Remember how it feels to be sober, hold on to that and pray for it when youāre wavering and be grateful for it when you make it through. All the minutes add up.
I relapsed several times over 4 years of trying to get sober. What helped me the most were the sober moments that allowed me to get closer to myself. When I could really see myself I could see what I liked and what I didnāt like. It wasnāt over night but I started choosing to be myself more often and slowly started shedding old habits and blossoming into who I wanted to be.
This is how alcohol abuse tends to go under the radar. Most people think think they are safe from alcoholism if they donāt fit the āTVā depiction of an alcoholic. If you hold down a job and a family, you canāt be a complete down and out, can you?
Fact of the matter is, a lot of people drink at night after theyāve done their days work, or once the kids are in bed. We are merely āfunctioningā alcoholics.
Well, if night drinking is your thing, Iām really glad to see you here. It means like me, youāve accepted itās gone too far and youāre doing something about it
