Didn’t think I’d last more than a couple days to be honest. I’ve been going to AA meetings near daily. Had to take a pause from hanging out with my friends. Reading a lot, eating more frequently and healthier choices. Taking care of ME.
I ran myself ragged taking care of other people and putting them first always. I’ve learned that if I don’t put me first, then I’ll keep doing the same thing and that drives me to drink. If I neglect myself, I will lose. Self care is not selfishness and is just as important as loving others. Learning this, I am grateful.
