2 years ago today I took my last drink…it’s also 2 years ago today I was hospitalized for liver failure and diagnosed with advanced cirrhosis at 26 years old.
Celebrating 54 years old today. The first fourteen were alcohol free; the next 34 were not; the past 6 have collectively been the best! Thanks for being here and for making this place great. IWNDWYT
Morning sobernauts! I'm 1 year today!! which was inconceivable to me a year ago. it was just another day 1 in a very long list of day ones, but I'd read somewhere that all the attempts build up until one time it sticks. kind of wish I was in some sober community irl so I could get a chip.
I was a drink to unwind person too. I also got scared when I would promise myself I wouldn’t drink tonight but then 5pm would roll around and I would pour my first. I was so wound up about everything. It wasn’t until I decided to stop completely that I could start addressing what was making me drink in the first place. It was hard at first. But for me totally worth the work. 🌟
Yes. This was a big realization for me. Drinking only pauses the emotions then, especially if I was sad, they would come back amplified by shame and frustration the next day for having given in to the cravings. I still want to quiet my brain some days. It can still be hard. But 99% of my days are better and craving free now. I started with a 30 Day and the moved to 100 day challenges. The goal and treat/reward systems worked for me :) 🌟

I think this is where I'm at. I want to be able to deal with life without needing alcohol to blunt my feelings

Great writing! Love the idea of just getting started and things will start to roll forward. You are doing the hard work, way to go. 🌟
