I’ve been struggling

but I’m back.

I let myself drink a few weeks ago when I was having some strong feelings I didn’t know how to otherwise cope with. From there, it became a pattern of drinking every few days. Drinking less than I was before I started practicing sobriety, but nonetheless.

This past weekend, I spent time visiting with various family members, many of whom also suffer from alcoholism, and are not choosing sobriety. I had the opportunity to intimately see how it is impacting each of their lives. I allowed myself to wallow in pity for a day or so about how I may as well just choose the booze since it pretty much runs in my blood. Then I went back to this quote from Colleen Hoover. I decided to get inspired and continue on the sober path. I’m committed to this being the last time.

Here’s to my last day 1 :tada:

Listen keep pushing forward. You didn't wake up 1 day and said I'm going to abuse my body with substances. It came over time, so does healing and recovery. Do not try to hyper space it. One Day at a Time, okay.
