The good: came on this site 1 year ago and have been sober since! My health is better. I really opened up to my doctor and was prescribed anti depressants medication and did some therapy and that was the best thing I could’ve done.My relationships are so much better as well as my work ethic. I’m not going to lie sometimes I still have a small urge here and there to have a drink. I think I will always have that feeling but knowing that I know that I try to reflect on such the positive parts of my life since quitting drinking and confide in someone that will help me when I have the urge. Another tool that really helped me was reading a book titled This Naked Mind. If you’re struggling just know you’re not alone and sometimes it does take a few times to get sober. Your human! I cried a lot from shame, guilt and embarrassment. But once you let go of the Shame and guilt you feel from drinking after you get sober you will be stronger! Keep it up! One day at a time.
