I'm proud of myself for staying sober for 3 weeks. I'm a severe alcoholic, I was drinking a fifth 1/2 a day for the longest time.

Congrats on 3 weeks, that’s inspiring to me, as today is Day 0 for me. I hope to get to 3 weeks and beyond.

Good for you, got to start somewhere. The first few months can be hard I suggest getting into meetings and getting a sponsor to guide you through it

I've had relapsed idk how many times, it's so hard I understand but what helps me get through the urges is my art and video games. I'm a self taught digital artist, so focusing on something you love will definitely help you out. If you play call of duty I'll give you my PSN name so we could play together n talk if you want... I'll attach some of my art here or on my profile

Thank you it is so hard not to get up and be at the liquor store as soon as they open but I'm being strong, and sometimes it still feels weird to be sober because my body is still use to haveing alcohol in it

Meetings rnt my thing, I get more anxiety for some reason, so I either start editing or play the game

You gotta get past the "meetings aren't my thing" stuff man. You don't have to do this alone. It hasn't worked yet.
