It’s early still. Don’t sweat the rest of your life. Just focus on the now and what you can control. With time it’ll get easier.

Look at it as freedom from thinking about ur next drink, when, where, what to buy, freedom from guilt, hangovers, missed deadlines, being late, not remembering what u did, looking tired, looking puffy, hurting people u love, embarrassing yourself, spending too much money, unnecessary calories, damaging ur body and mind. Life is so much better without all that mess.
You can choose to free yourself. You can start now and change ur future. It’s a healthy lifestyle choice, not a punishment.
This quote helps me: sobriety is not an anchor, it’s a pair of wings

I’m struggling with the same thing. I have told myself numerous times I’m not going to drink… when I drink I’m not the same person. I do not like the person I become when drinking. It causes fights between my gf and I. Fights I do not remember bc I have blacked out. I hate the hangover. If I drink again I will lose my gf of 4 yrs that I love immensely and I’m not ready for that so that keeps me from drinking. Im glad I found this app bc reading everyone stories, thoughts and opinions has really helped me not pick up a bottle and drink and the fact I do not want to lose her. Thank you everyone

Don't look at is a never again. Look at it as today. Today I am sober. Tomorrow I'll decide then.
Don’t tell yourself you’re “never” going to drink again. Instead tell yourself that you ARE going to keep sober and live a new healthy lifestyle.
