No need to be embarrassed! I have come on myself several times, just because I needed to hear from other people ‘No!’. And then I do the same when I am feeling strong for someone else. That is surely what this app is for.
You know deep in your heart drinking will ONLY make it worse
Absolutely, much much worse, and then now I’d probably be going through the thinking of well. I broke my 10 month sobriety streak, so I might as well have some more this weekend, and then I would be in a vicious cycle. It’s weird, even though I didn’t drink I’m extremely disappointed in myself that I got that close.
Disappointed? WHAT?! That is something that you deserve to be PROUD about. you conquered yesterday & you will conquer today.
You should feel awesome. Reading this thread was the best way to start the morning. You were brave to reach out. It was the best tool to use at that moment. And then the flood of NOs and encouraging words and great advice. This place rocks. You just put that on display and showed how to stay sober. Thank you!
Thats what we are all here for! No need for embarrassment
We all need a reminder sometimes and people who say NO! Together we are stronger, this journey is better travelled in company. Set a bookmark. Come back and read and reach out again when temptation sets in next time. Be nice and kind to yourself, remind yourself about how much nicer life is without a hangover.
Just keep busy at this point anything to keep you busy not to drink will definitely help and maybe go to a AA meeting? Get your mind off things talking to some people there would help and if you would like you can check out another app it’s called “IN THE ROOMS” it’s also an app that actually has different meetings that ppl join into and have a main speaker for NA/AA && ALSO OTHER TYPES OF MEETING’S! ,
Together we are stronger. Please don’t be embarrassed and don’t feel like a bother. People helping people is the way I want to live. Now it’s your turn to talk someone down.
