I can’t wait to feel at an extreme all time high to seperate myself from oh I have to drink to be happy, and being able to watch people do it & not feel uncomfortable because that’s not who I am anymore. Definitely getting there because being sober feels greater than drinking. Never was I a full time drinker hell I can’t drink more then a day, but when I drink I drink to black out and that’s dangerous. I know there’s an underlying issue of pain I must face amongst myself.

Welcome to the group Sam!
You’ve described me to a T here.
I’ve exited the chaos spiral and fear for my life getting anywhere close to it again.
Mom invited us to a bar today and was just content with my bottomless coffee, kinda sorry for others to have those cravings ongoing.
Good on you for almost at a month, ur cravings will continue to diminish I promise

Yes definitely peer pressure! But it’s worth it. I’d say my biggest downfall is letting go of the past because I don’t live there anymore. I know I’ll pull threw♥️🫶🏼 Ty

Are you in therapy, I’m wondering how your working on past problems. I feel exactly how you do. But am unable to figure out exactly what childhood trauma is still effecting me to this day. I drink it away or abuse my prescribed medication.

No I’m not in therapy but I think that would definitely help I did not have the best childhood and I think majority of my trauma comes from very abusive relationships I’ve been in. Also my son and bd passed away so I know that there’s some healing I must work on and it’s just not worth drinking it away instead of fixing the problems I have. I rarely cry and now that I haven’t been drinking I cry I think one of the main things is letting it all out. I hope you learn to understand your emotions as learning to cope with mine!
