20 days sober-struggling with anger due to a narcissistic father

Hello everyone. I really appreciate this community. 20 days sober from alcohol today. My cravings have been minimal but I made the decision to go no contact with my narcissistic father yesterday after yet another bout of his rage/gaslighting. He is angry that I am not interested in a visit with him right now because he lashed out at me recently and I dared to set a boundary. My sobriety is very new and I want to protect it. The old familiar trigger to" drink at my anger and disappointment" is strong but I will not succumb. Just reaching out for any encouragement or tips from those who have had similar experiences. Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Start distancing yourself from people that steal your joy. Protect your sobriety at all cost. It’s hard but worth it.
