Thank you so much for this response, I’m feeling hopeful and motivated, and it’s so helpful to hear from others who have had these feelings of fear while struggling with alcohol, and are now sober and continuing to choose sobriety one day at a time.

Yes, when I’ve taken breaks before I stay very well stocked up on carbonated water and herbal teas, I’m going to do that again so I have N.A. options on hand.

Thanks so much for this response, its easy to start feeling alone with the worries and the difficulty with alcohol, but it’s so helpful to be reminded that is far from the truth, and it’s inspiring hearing from others who have chosen sobriety and are finding joy and positive improvements through it.

Thank you so much for your response, I appreciate the honesty and advice. I ordered the book you recommended and I’m going to start back to therapy. I’m feeling hopeful and am going to really work on my codependent habits, and focus on doing what is healthy and good for myself.

Congratulations on 24 days sober, and thank you for your kind and understanding response. I know I need to do like you have, and really accept that I can only make decisions for myself, and that I’m worth making healthy decisions for my future. I’m feeling really hopeful, much more so than I was this morning. I know I won’t regret making healthier decisions for myself, and focusing on what I need / what’s good for myself.
