I wanted to go out drinking earlier (it’s nighttime where I am). Like really, really, I-am-missing-out-on-all-the-fun-I-think-I’ve-proven-my-point-now wanted to. Oh-fuck-it-just-tonight wanted to. Nobody-even-really-knows-you’ve-quit-so-what’s-the-big-deal wanted to. As-if-you’re-gonna-keep-this-up-forever-you’re-fooling-nobody wanted to.
I didn’t.
It’s midnight now, and therefore a new day.Β I already feel relieved that I didn’t drink. As I always eventually do.
And on and on it goes.
Chin up, so glad you hung on. God Bless π
Thanks so much, Art. Coming on here helped immensely!!! π
Great. Keep writing, I look forward every day to seeing you’re ok. Blessings
I will, Art. Thank you so much for your support, I am so grateful. It makes me feel more accountable. Take care and have a great weekend π
The more times you can hang on, the easier it should be in the future, well done =)
Thanks Shan Mal! Sometimes it’s easy, sometimes it’s so hard – hopefully soon it’ll just be easy π I appreciate the support so much, thank you π
I admire your will power young one! At your age I am almost certain I could not have done it. Here you are proving to yourself time and time again, it can be done π Love to read your blog and see your strength.
Hi myescape π thanks for your message, it came at the right time. I was out at a party earlier and I found it tough, and after a while I checked my phone and got the notification for your comment – it really helped π hope you’re having a nice weekend π
Glad to be of assistance π Your posts have kept me thinking straight at times as well. Sometimes a little anonymous encouragement can do wonders.
Let’s keep each other going π today is another day π
You know what’s crazy, I was telling my parents about you over Easter brunch and how much you and other bloggers have helped me! It’s wonderful how a complete stranger in another land can have such an affect. Major props for sobriety blogs!
Awh, that’s so lovely! It really amazing the support we can get here, it keeps me going π
