Definitely struggling right now. Have the apartment to myself and just want to go grab a drink.
Be strong my friend. You can do it. Alcohol is not our friend.
maybe leave the apt, get some new scenery. go get a coffee and have a walk! being outside reminds me how beautiful the world and life is and that I want to continue choosing life over death. notice your urges and thank them for trying to help, but remind them that they are no longer helpful. ask yourself what about being alone makes you want to drink? are you lonely? bored? upset? anxious? these are all roots of why we drank in the first place- sitting with what your feeling instead of finding a way to numb it is so challenging sometimes, but creates the space for so much healing. I believe in you!!
Hey Brad,
Try going on a walk. Get outside. Go to the grocery store and splurge on some yummy non alcoholic drinks and fill your fridge. I’ve been loving ginger beer with fresh fruit… you got this!!!
You know, you know how to make that stop.
