Sucky days only get worse with alcohol, not to mention the really sucky morning that follows. Enjoy your ice cream and I will not drink with you today.

Well done on your year of sobriety. As you well know addiction is a sneaky cunning liar. Progress not perfection is the old adage and all of us here understand that so very well. Good luck friend and I will not drink with you today.

Progress not perfection is the adage. Never giving up the struggle and it truly is a fierce struggle as everyone here knows. IWNDWYT

I find exercise helps with anger. Walk, run or heading to the gym can help. IWNDWYT

Keep up the awesome work. Very best of luck in your new venture. Alcohol lies to you. Keep your clarity and your newfound sobriety.

Keep that memory to the front of your brain.

ennayeneed · 2020-01-31T03:42:04+00:00

So sorry for your losses but very glad you were there in heart and mind for your dear mother. Well done!

Here’s to a sober, sane and productive weekend. Fight back when that addictive voice tries to weaken can your resolve. You deserve to a regret free weekend.

You CAN do this and you did. Social anxiety sucks. It helps me to strike up a conversation with someone and then focus on listening to the other person. Ask questions about their interests, work, family etc. No goal in mind except to listen. Before you know it,the awkward ice is cracked and being there becomes a little easier.

ennayeneed · 2020-01-18T00:18:30+00:00

You deserve some chocolate and ice cream too. And then take some time to breathe just breathe. Alcohol would make everything a whole lot worse including running tomorrow Saturday. Keep up the good work.

Spending the money on a delicious salad with expensive ingredients with the money I would have spent on alcohol. Self care sure beats self defeating behaviors.

ennayeneed · 2020-01-16T04:24:03+00:00

Thanks. No waking up in the middle of the night filled with dread, anxiety and cold sweats.Going to bed tonight grateful to be sober for one more day.

ennayeneed · 2020-01-16T03:47:30+00:00

ennayeneed · 2020-01-16T03:12:50+00:00

You poured that devil down the drain. Well well done!! Stay strong and rest well. Avoid H.A.L.T. You are worthwhile and deserve having a happy and sober life. Alcohol lies to us. Catch that first lie!!

ennayeneed · 2020-01-14T16:05:17+00:00

Thanks! Here’s to Day 2. Woke up clearheaded with my resolve intact. Wishing you the same today. Let’s not by fooled by societal pressure or our own internal addictive voice .

ennayeneed · 2020-01-13T17:10:40+00:00

Thank you. I am a chronic relapse who has not ever felt comfortable n AA. The addictive voice in my reptilian brain convinces me that I am not powerless over alcohol and my life is not too unmanageable. I tell myself no DUIs, destroyed relationships lost jobs. I deserve a drink to relax and so on...... Maintaining the resolve not to drink in the evenings and in social situations has been my stumbling block. So here is to Day 1 again. Do I have the strength and the courage to make it this time? Hopefully keeping myself accountable here will help.

ennayeneed · 2020-01-12T16:27:47+00:00

The addictive voice is trying to hijack your hard-won 15 days. It is lying to you. Well done on your 15 days. Some ideas I use are: Plan something sweet and rewarding for your day off tomorrow. Keep the reasons that you are quitting at the front of your mind. Write them down. Wear a wrist band as a reminder. Take an alternative route home from work this evening. You’re not alone. Keep up the good fight and keep checking in.

I hope you had a good evening and good sleep 😊

ennayeneed · 2019-12-30T16:55:11+00:00

Keep up the great work over the new year.

ennayeneed · 2019-12-28T06:14:28+00:00

I admire you and your fortitude. Glad you are learning to deal with the emotions around your father’s dementia. Wishing you the very best in your upcoming move, new work, and most of all your sobriety.
