One week later, my skin is feeling nice again, almost like it’s shining in gratitude.
I’m not going to lie and say it’s been a hunky-dory but it sure had its moments.
Choosing not to drink allows me more energy to put towards my relationships, my future, and my community.
Adult behavioral change is one of the hardest things to do and I’m proud of myself and I’m proud of you.
1 week down, congratulations. Let’s make it two now, one minute, hour, day at a time. Hang in there. Suggest getting support from others in your community. Easier when those like yourself have your back and understanding. Sites like this can be a good fill in. Yet day to day struggles best in real life are by your side. Good luck.
Just noticed you been at this 6 months on here by past posts. Never mention hitting meetings or plugging into a recovery program. Do you actually believe you have an addiction?
I believe that using creates unmanageable consequences, sure.
I’m someone who likes to set emotional goals, as suggested in This Naked Mind.
I recently started new lit, Quit Like a Woman. Have you ever heard of it?
Also, Would going to a codependent meetings qualify as a recovery meeting to you?
I have data points from the time I’ve spent so far on my alcohol-free journey, I’ve found a whole bunch of things that didn’t work.
Agree that being able to converse and connect with sober-minded folk can create unwavering conviction.
That’s the goal here, isnt it?
Thanks, Cristy
That's amazing, Lizzy
Great job, Lizzy!
You too Mike
