The urge and the truth

As the day goes on the urge gets heavier, but the tunnel vision back to the dark path is the question you ask yourself, is the light in the other direction worth losing sight, over a few moments down that dark path.

I’m not completely strong yet, but this fight is building my ability to say no👌

Welcome to our awesome community Tommy. If you don’t mind me asking, what is your DOC and how long have you been sober?

Calling from the light: It’s pretty great here. Hope you make it over!

Really though, welcome. At least for me, this has been worth it. One day at a time we can find our way out of the woods and back to the clearing. :pray:

Well done on 2 days! I have a few, mine are pain pills, cocaine and alcohol and I’m 1 year sober today. We’re all just working on today though. I still live by the one day at a time motto. I look forward to following your journey.

Hi Tommy and welcome!
My doc is alcohol too, just celebrated my 2 years sober. Keep pushing trough because it’s going to be better! Very happy to have my life back again! Seldom cravings! You can get there too.
Be here much and focus on staying sober today.
When you have cravings come here and talk about it instead of picking up.
We all know where you are going trough. Yes it’s difficult but also douable!

Hey Bud! :facepunch:
Like anything we do in life it takes practice.
We didn’t learn to walk overnight.
Keep working towards the light.
Keep getting stronger and more confident :muscle:
