Tomorrow will be 7 days sober. I haven’t gone 7 days in years and years. I just have this feeling of doom.. wondering if it’s worth it cutting alcohol out for good. Will I still be able to have fun? Am I going to miss alcohol for the rest of my life? Will it be a constant obsession in my head? I want to give in and have a drink but I refuse… I want this to be worth it and it’s so hard to see it…

I had 7 days..many times but I don't even think about drinking... It took thinking that alcohol owned me, controlled my every move, minute and day. Turns out, I am stronger than it. 940 days ago, I said enough..still going strong. I don't miss it at all.
You are also stronger than it .. you have it in you to never let it control you again...

I feel like those thoughts are so normal, especially at the beginning! At the beginning of my sobriety this time, I tried a bunch of different hobbies out! I found coloring mandalas kept my mind out of thinking about substances! Your addict voice is going to be very loud at first. It will be very convincing and try to justify anything to use. But remember the reasons you are doing this and focus heavily on that! You do not have to choose today if you are going to use. I tell myself just for today, I will stay sober! Remember you are not alone! 
You got this!

Just the 24 hours ahead-that’s it. That’s all you gotta make it through for a little while…Not everything all at once. Thats what I did for my first year. Hard-do all the things you can for yourself 
Rooting for you-you got this!!!!
