Trying to stay sober is hard

You have to make a decision to stay sober and stick to it stubbornly. It feels like a punishment at first but it’s actually your freedom.

I keep trying and failing
Stay strong. Just today.
I've already messed up
No it's not. It's pretty simple. Just out of your own way.
I'm so tired of people saying its not hard! It is!!!! Its very hard!!
It is hard but not impossible...1 day at a time progress not perfect...keep going its worth it
Charlie, for me trying to stay high and drunk became way harder than staying sober. Working the program of AA with a sponsor and other recovering addicts made sobriety way easier. These are simply facts for me.
I’m here if you want to talk or have any questions
Start tomorrow. Every clean day is better than none. I’m in no position to give advice. I’ve only not imbibed since the day after Christmas.
I tried and failed for months. Each time you get stronger just like working any muscle. Don’t let it define you, each attempt is another lesson. I had to distance myself from my triggers by finding out what they are.
That 1st week is a massive hurdle, and having that perspective already is going to take you far. I’ve been at this 6 years, and I can tell you that while the early days are tough, they don't last forever. You’re doing the heavy lifting right now. So proud of you for sticking it out.
