Does it feel harder this time around? From when you were sober for 18 months before…
Not that it’s the same but I had quit smoking cigs for 13 years and pucked up again; just quit this past may after 10 years of smoking again. Ugghh.
Congrats on quitting again, I feel your pain. I think this time seems a little better than last time because I think I finally let go of the idea that I might be able to drink again some day. Last time I quit I was was physically wiped out. I couldn’t function without alcohol. I was also resistant at first to accepting help.
This time I was mentally and emotionally done. I still went to work every day, but as soon as I could ibwas into my bottle. I was done. I hated my life. So I fully accepted that I am an alcoholic and knew I wanted my life. I hated how alcohol made me feel.
So here I am again, but this time my attitude is different. I no longer want any substance in my life that is going to chain me down. It’s still hard, can’t lie. I was craving a drink tonight while watching this football game. But I know it won’t make this night any better.
Whatever support or advise I can try to share I’m always happy too. Good for you for staying strong. I’m pulling for you.

Yesterday (day119) I went to a cruise with my Boi.
We rode around Amsterdam with around 40/50 others lowriders and cruisers. People were drinking alcohol and smoking weed. I had no graving what so ever. It made me stronger in recovery then I felt before.
So happy I don’t have to let my hobby go. And so happy I am a sober father
