Welcome @Kayers3
@Lisa26 I think it’s better not to dwell on past mistakes. We’re not perfect but we can be better right?

@Paul697 Yes stay away from margaritas! I’m proud of myself. I went to the store and had to pass the wine aisle. I didn’t even look that way. Day 3. I’m starting to feel a little better so I do not want to have to go through all of this again

We’re at a Mexican restaurant now as well. Im proud of myself. No desire. Actually watching the people at bar take shots makes my liver throb. No thank you! I cleaned my closet earlier and found an unopened bottle of wine. I didn’t pour it out. Just threw the whole damn bottle away! :muscle::pray:

Couple other really good podcasts I’ve come across that have helped me immensely with my own recovery are

  • Recovery Happy Hour
  • The Rich Roll podcast
  • Oprah’s SuperSoul Sunday
  • Brene Brown Unlocking Us
  • Phil in the Blanks, Dr Phil
  • Busy living sober
  • The Addicted Mind

Also, Russell Brands podcast Under the Skin and his YouTube channel and books have been SO amazingly helpful! Especially his book: Recovery.

Keep at it and stay strong I did permanent damage to my liver and know all to well about that pain. Best to stop now before damage is permanent. Your liver can repair itself. But only to a certain extent hope your weekend is going well and the temptations low.
