How did the 4th go for ya'll?

Did you make it thru sober? What were the struggles, if any? It was hard for me. I learned that I need more connections. That's my goal.i learned that the old me is just a heartbeat away. I wish I had pictures of white water rafting, but the river isn't the best place for a phone. Right now, the neighborhood, in CO, is being lit up.

Two years ago I was on day 4. And I was so close to drinking. I was finally able to move a little from detoxing, and I thought just one drink would help, but we know how that goes. I was dreading hearing the fire works that year. 1 year ago, I stayed home, I wasn’t sure if I was ready or not. Today, I was able to enjoy the 4th of July, I didn’t have to fight any cravings. 2nd sober 4th of July.

This is awesome! Congratulations! I don’t fight the Cravings either. I’m so grateful for that. My Gratefulness over rides the addiction I once had I believe by fully surrendering!

Unfortunately back to day 1, not only am I trying to recover from my trauma but also trying to not drink with a husband that drinks whos also trying to heal from his issues. It's rough, I feel weak and sad constantly. We've been here before, we both beat opiate & coke addictions but this alcohol is something Else, so proud of you and all the others who made it through the 4th sober. I will not give up
We all are stronger then we feel :pray::pray::pray:

Hi Crystal. It is something else, isnt it? I was feeling so strong for a while, but I'm struggling again now. I'll be thinking about you today. If you want to talk, shoot me a message. :heart:
