The longer I'm clean and sober, the more I want to relapse

This comment was unbelievably helpful. All that energy I’m exerting into staying clean might not even be necessary. And i really need every little bit if energy I can get. Thank you

The first time I got sober it was for 8 months I felt great and from time to time my brain was telling me one drink won’t hurt but if I was to give in all the effort was for nothing. Then someone close passed away then I gave in to temptation. We all know how it ends…not good it took another 3 years before I was able to quit again. I have 20 days sober and my brain still tells me just one. But again…we all know it’s never one and it never ends well. Keep that in mind and congrats on staying strong.
