Trying so damn hard to stay sober. I absolutely know it’s the right answer, and I hate how I feel about myself when I give in… but the constant temptation is overwhelming. I link literally everything with drinking. Relaxing, cleaning, yard work, with dinner, in bed, bad days, good days, EVERYTHING. How do you resist the urges?

Hi Ashley, I know exactly what you're going through. The only thing on my mind was how, when and what to drink. I came up with some good ones, at least in my mind.
I put myself in out patient rehab and found a AA meeting I liked, they are not all the same. I know it's hard but you are worth it and it feels so much better being sober. The 1 thing you must always remember "1 drink is too many and 1000 is not enough" it means you can not ever have 1 drink. It doesn't work. Best of luck and reach out anytime. We are on your side
