Today is my 30 day marker in my sobriety. I’ll start off by saying I’m very grateful to God for it. Today is also my first day we’re I felt like I’m tempted to store by a liquor store on my way home tonight when I get off. Like WTH is wrong with me. Since I started this journey I been learning so much about myself and how alcohol is trying to kill me. But this whole day from early morning with the guy cutting me off this morning in traffic to a coworker coming at me snappy to being rejected by a chick who was my catalyst in my sobriety to me being tired in general being it’s near end of my work week (all stuff I’ve dealt with before and able to shrug it off) today the sudden urges of drinking later tonight when I get home hits me. Smh I’m supposed to be celebrating my 30 days instead I’m fighting this stuff the hardest today. Ugh! I got this tho. I don’t need that poison in my body.
It gets easier! Go to a meeting and introduce yourself as new. Make friends. I swear everyone there wants to help you and it makes things so much easier.
Feeling the same way Rico. Tomorrow will be a month for me which I'm grateful for and proud tbh
thank you.
Yup! We got this. It’ll pass congrats for tomorrow
THE DREAM. THE STRUGGLE. AND THE PRIZE. IT IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR AND YOU ARE WORTH IT. EMBRACE the process of RECOVERY and you will make it
Thank you.
It gets better. Reach out if you need to talk
Yup thanks Brad. The thick of that urge has passed me. Thank God.
Gods got this man. I get it it’s hard man. Don’t drink it won’t be worth it. You and me both are just being targeted hard here just push keep pushing. Im starting over here completely I have no one in my court friend wise / family wise / no support and I get it I did that to myself I lost my job I’m freaking out about the girl thing as well now that I’m working on trying to rebuild my life at 30 years old I’m burning through my savings I had made up I’m freaking out about what to do. That feeling in your gut well mine to say the least is about puking. Im trying so hard to stay sober myself. But I know if I do man nothing will get better just worse so in a sense all these things happening are way worth it because I know when I hit my 30 I’m one step closer to getting these things back. Just push man and really pray to God. Cry if you have to. I am I am almost all through out my day.
Stay strong!!! You got this!’
facts Andrew. God gots us. I know better so I’m do better. Alcohol has no benefit to me whatsoever. Only makes things worse for me. You hang in there too. Thank you for sharing and still using your story to help me and relate with me. I thank God that urge passed me and I chose life and not death.
Yup! Thank you.
Congrats!!
Congrats on 30 days!! Step forward to 31!!!
Hey Rico, one thing that has changed my life is realizing that the benefits I've been weighing against negatives for so long were all illusions. Drinking alcohol actually provides no benefit, but we've perceived that it does for so long we can fight ourselves. By realizing this truth the fight goes away, and we choose healthier things to put in our bodies.
Thank you.
Thank you!
Those feelings come and go. Just ride it out. As long as you make it to bed sober you win!
You got this bud, go to a meeting talk about it or to someone, find something to distract it will pass man. Stay strong bro.
