How are you today?xx
So hungover, feeling like shit. Back to day 1. Disappointed in myself.
Its gonna be ok, you always learn something…what ive noticed from your posts is how you keep putting yourself in harms way where the drinking is concerned…you were sitting outside the petrol station…bought the wine but gave it to your mum, last night you got the prosecco and were sitting staring at it…going forward you must stay away from temptation and for a good while until you are strong enough to be around it…i did that for 3 full months at the start of my sobriety…if you really want to be sober do not have it anywhere near you for as long as it takes. Sending love and hugs
I feel for you Emma Louise, and I hope you find that reason to stay in the sober journey. Lord knows it took me a thousand day 1’s and I’m far from successful as of yet, and suspect that I will never quite be as it will always be a day at a time.
My concern is you haven’t quite found that reason for sobriety quite yet.
Definitely your posts suggests that to be so as you put yourself in very hard scenarios to be successful.
Wishing you all the best and hope you are learning and more successful on your next attempt.
Glad you are back!! Ugh those terrible feelings of hungover, anxious, guilt, shame and disappointment. It took me forever to release that.
Have you read This Naked Mind by Annie Grace? It helped me shift my thoughts on what drinking really was and what it wasn’t. Might be a useful read.
