Cried and vented to my sister about how I’ve been wanting a drink the past couple days.
She tells me how she forgets what a battle everyday must be for me bc I’m so strong.
I cried even more bc I am strong but it is so hard to be strong every single day.
Yet, it’s doable. Keep hanging in there. Only gets better over time.
It is hard but you can do it. And it is awesome that your sister is there for you and supports you.
My sister (4 yr older) was my main support when I quit. It was COVID and there were no meetings. I probably should have checked in somewhere but I knew she would call a hospital if needed. I spent a week on her couch, pacing the floors, sweating it out. I don’t think I could have made it through that without her.
And yes, I cried a lot too.
Those are tough times for sure. The one thing that helps me is remembering how I felt, physically and mentally, the last time I succumbed to my mind’s obsession.
I wish I had some magical trick I could share to help. Hang in there.
