Teamwork makes the dream work. Let’s link up!

Here’s the deal…I’m 40 years old and can feel every bender in ways I thought unimaginable. The headaches, backaches, heartburn and indigestion. My body can’t take it like it used to, and although I know this to be true, I still consume heavy amounts of bourbon to drown out my demons…especially at night.

If you’re reading this and feel similarly adrift in your sobriety, drop me a friend request or send me a message and let’s link up to hold each other accountable!

We can do this…together!!!!

In the meantime, I’ll be holding the morning down with my son on the shores of Lake Michigan. We can get through today!

I feel ya! A couple years ago when I first started bouts here and there of sobriety, I was like, “My body can’t take this!” Each time I drank I would feel the ill affects strongly the next day- even if I didn’t ‘overdo’ it. Had to decide to choose my health (mental as well) over the ‘joy’ of drinking. Enjoy the lake!

Good morning! You both speak my language! And the best part is you both are describing Alcoholism. I’m allergic to alcohol. I become deathly ill when I drink. Working the 12 Steps of AA of saved my life.
Continue to stay sober my friends!
Thank you :pray: for sharing!

I have found Jesus and a good therapist. Helps a lot. Reach out to your higher power. Whomever that might be for you. Best of luck on your journey
