I have no idea why I'm so triggered tonight! Why is this? Drinking feels like the solution but I know it is not. Does this ever get easier?

It’s definitely not the solution but it sounds like you know that. Good for you! Time in sobriety gives us the ability to play that tape forward to what would happen if we drank!

Just stand firm. Tap in with your higher power and the feeling will pass.
Hang in there Mike
Stay strong, Mike.
I’m only 9 mos, but I feel like it’s always gonna come in waves. Because sometimes I’m like “HECK YES IM SOBER IM GREAT IM NOT HUNGOVER!” And then the next week I’m crying because I cant be a “normal drinker.” I’m hoping it gets easier, but at least we have the tools to help when it doesn’t.

Usually what I do in a case like that is remembering my last time out and my last time out and then me leaving the hospital with a feeding tube which I do not have today. It’s unfortunate, but our disease never sleeps, and it seems to come at the most in opportune times, oh I guess it’s part of what it says, and how it works about cunning baffling and powerful. Hope that helps you.
