Daily Gratitude
#1

I’m really grateful for this app. I’ve gotten to the stage of, “maybe I don’t have a problem. I’ve made it 11 days! Maybe (insert excuse)”

But when I come here, I’m reminded that I feel good BECAUSE I’m AF. I wouldn’t feel this way if I drank. And the fact that I’m blown away by 11 days should be a wake up call that I do, in fact, have a problem. A person without a problem, wouldn’t even have to think like this.

It’s nice to be able to come here, and remind myself what I’m working towards and that I’m not alone. :two_hearts:

My experience is the disease of alcoholism is marked by my relapses when I think I am doing great and it wants to convince me I don’t have a disease.

All true.
A fellow AA told me that he was thinking a lot about whether or not he was a alcoholic for weeks on end before coming into the program. Counting his drinks seeing haw bad he missed it and all. Then it occurred to him, if he didn’t have a problem he probably wouldn’t be thinking about it that much. :thinking:

Hi Ema, I can honestly say that none of my friends who don't have a problem with alcohol have any interest in this site at all! Labels aren't important - the fact you want to stop drinking is. This community can support your non-drinking efforts. Congrats on 11 days!
