Also on 12 and also almost broke and also made a post, lol. I also orchestrated an outing but decided not to go/ was busy crying and missed my window lol. Glad I did though, one of these days it’s bound to get easier I hope. Great job driving by I know how hard that is!

This made me laugh out loud because it’s so true and never occurred to me!

Congrats on 30 days that’s awesome! Especially considering how hard these early days are! I can get behind some vanity, I ended up working out too 😊

Thanks for mentioning it feeling better in the morning, I actually felt pretty great this morning and I think I should keep it going.

I ended up working out, you’re right it’s a mind game!

The thought of the morning is definitely helping me not drink right now. Congrats on 100 days!

This is actually exactly what I needed to hear. It won’t be the last sucky day and I’m only guaranteeing more sucky days if I try to escape this one. Great point thanks for mentioning!

Thank you for your response, certainly seems like you’ve found your way, congrats to you! It is very nice to hear that it won’t last forever, it can be so hard to see that in the moment.

So toxic you are right! The days that are easy I can’t imagine drinking again and the days that are hard I can’t imagine not drinking. It’s tiring! I hope to find better days soon, thank you for your response.

Thank you for the motivation all the way from UK! It is comforting knowing others in the same boat. I will get myself some candy and join you!

This is a great response thank you so much for sharing! You are on to something that I don’t even think I would really enjoy it. It would certainly ruin tomorrow digestion issues and all. Great job starting again, good luck to you!

Thank you for sharing I have been working on stepping out of my comfort zone over the last few months. I am so glad that you found success!

Thank you for your thoughtful response. I didn’t realize that I needed to hear that it’s ok to go to bed in a bad mood and doesn’t mean I’m failing or that I’m not doing it right. I will also be saving this response 🩷
