Holidays are it’s peak right now!! Over 2 months sober and have the incredible urge to get drunk. But I won’t. I want to drink to forget, but I know it will just come back to me when I wake up, and worse. I am strong to make it through, and so are you. We can make it together! We are not alone! To hell with this poison that’s masks itself as a piece of paradise
The exact words I needed to read! I feel the same way… I want to forget, to numb, to let go, to shut my mind off…
Today I’m going minute by minute and hoping I make it. This is by far the worst day I’ve had- 13 days in and hoping to make it to 14
No hoping, you will make it.
Just like saying…
“I cannot drink”, or “I can, not drink”…
I LOVE THAT! Thanks for speaking “Dom” by wording things in a way that I not only understand but in a way that puts power behind them and power within me. =)
Today sucks for me too. First Christmas being sober. I don’t know what I want or what I need to feel better. It’s just one of those days where I feel disconnected from everyone. I keep thinking about drinking… I can’t though… I won’t… I’m 42 days sober and I have to keep going.
