153 days sober

Day 153.

This ain’t easy.
Just because I’m sober don’t mean the fight is over.
I still catch myself reacting with old habits—
quick anger, impulsive moves, letting emotions lead the way.
That’s the part nobody tells you about:
You can put the bottle down…
but the behavior? That takes work.

Some days, my addiction don’t come in the form of a drink—
it shows up in how I talk, how I think,
how I try to escape instead of feel.

But I remind myself:
A feeling is not a fact.
And a bad moment doesn’t have to turn into a bad decision.

I’m learning to breathe.
To pause.
To protect my peace.
Because one reaction can cost me everything I’ve worked for.

I’m 153 days in.
Still healing.
Still learning.
Still choosing not to go back.

If you’re in the fight too, stay with me.
We’re not perfect—but we’re growing.
One decision at a time.

Thx u

Annie Grace can help you deal with your emotions/behavior. I read her 1st book called This Naked Mind & I enjoyed her 2nd book called The Alcohol Experiment & both were very enlightening!!!. I also downloaded her app on my phone called This Naked Mind Companion App (free) where you can get support!!:clap::+1:. Good luck!!!

Congratulations! It's so worth staying on this journey.

Take this one day at a time. Be kind to yourself. Some days if all you do is not drink/use them you are 100% success! Great job!!

Unfortunately it's part of the journey or as I've heard life is like a Road filled with potholes speed bumps and occasionally some idiot parked ride in the middle stay blessed
