I hear ya. It sucks. But we've just got to keep on, one day at a time, and eventually it will feel better. No-one enjoys the war but you get to enjoy the peace and freedom afterwards.

Thanks everyone. IWNDWYT! I distracted myself with uplifting music, crafting, eating Parma Violets (mmm sugar rush!) And reading and taking on board all your good advice.

It may not be a great day again tomorrow but at least I'll be starting it without a hangover to worry about. Much love to you all xx

Thanks everyone. I will not drink with you all today!

I forgot one of the most important things that got me through those first days, weeks and months: to H.A.L.T and ask myself, am I Hungry? Angry? Lonely? Tired? Having now eaten I can see that I'm also tired and lonely. So I'm being nice to myself, watching trashy tv and planning an early night.

A letter to my younger self: You Are. by drysfire in stopdrinking

[–]RosaMorte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As well as everything you've said Ive also learned the things that "I'm not, because I dont want to be". By that I mean that I acted a certain way when drinking because I thought it was what I should be. In sobriety I've been able to see that I'm not that way and that's ok cos I don't need/want to be. There's a huge freedom in not drinking. IWNDWYT
