Recovery
#1

I left my apartment with the Intentions of going to get snacks but then the thought of getting vodka crossed my mind and sounded so much better. I turned around and came back home and hopped on a meeting. Close call :sweat:

That’s huge! I’m about to say something really weird, just a heads up :sweat_smile:

So in Twilight (yes, I know) they always talk about how nearly impossible it is for vampires to stop themselves “mid hunt” it’s like a frenzie comes over them, and doing that is a show of serious strength and self control.

I think of addiction in the same way. Like when we get that craving, or need that fix, it is SO hard to pull away. Especially in the beginning of a sober journey. So I see what you just did as similar. You pulled back “mid hunt.” That shows how incredibly strong you are! :two_hearts:
