Today i went back into town to where everyone i know is. And as soon as i hit my place my anxiety went out the roof and i wanted to go grab beer and start drinking. My thing is once im done my week away and go back after bejng sober for a week im scared im going to cave. Everyone around my drinks and to keep myself away would mean moving. Or never leaving my apt and breaking up with my bf. Why is it that everyone else can drink and then bot drink again afterwards. I know i will get to that point where i wint want to drink. But its the getting there that is stressing me out. I wish i could fastforward time.

Everyone you know drinks, that sucks. Maybe it's time to find some new peeps in town that don't? Any meetings in town would offer new connections. I hope you prioritize your sobriety. If you don't no one else will

I know what it’s like to want to just be in the spot where you feel OK. And I actually tried to rest the process for myself, but one thing I can say is that there is so much to learn about yourself and sobriety by just taking a day by day. At any cost, you’re sobriety has to be protected. Try to stay far far away from anywhere that would make you tempted to pick up a drink. You got this!

Right now I am okay as I’m far from home. And temptation but come Friday it’s going to be in full force. I’m trying to prepare myself for the worst so I don’t let myself down.
Ha!
, fast fwd thru the hard times and slow motion on the good times! Love it! I would’ve just fast fwd thru the hangovers!
Seriously though, I had to change everything and just about everyone to change my life from an out of control drunk to a recovering alcoholic that created a great life worth living. It’s actually very simple.
I’m here if you want to talk.
