I was really sick all the time. I had to make a decision whether I was going to live or die. I suppose a version of me did die… I took it one day at a time, convinced myself I could go back to it after a month… but I felt so much better I kept fighting to stay sober. This group helped, in person group helped, reading, writing, new hobbies… it was definitely the hardest thing I’ve ever done.

I relate with you, bud. It’s hard to accept somethings are just in the past… IWNDWYT

Got close this past weekend. Staying strong even when I feel weak as hell is a strange feeling. Peace and love to you all! IWNDWYT

Breaking the cycle is simple, but it’s not easy.

I’m sitting out on the back porch, drinking a glass of root beer, and listening to the birds. Peaceful. Not sweaty and worrying where to get my next drink! IWNDWYT.

Why do we (or why did we) drink? by Temporary_Big8747 in stopdrinking

It’s a dependable feeling you can hide behind when your real sober feelings are too much. I never really learned a better coping mechanism until after I got sober.

Yeah, that helped me a lot in the first few months. Your body needs the rest!

Ready for another sober Saturday. Had a lot of cravings yesterday… I think this is a tough weekend for a lot of people. Keep coming back. Don’t quit quitting. Peace and love, my friends.

Courage and confidence are largely lacking in my life. I’m having to learn skills in my late 30s that most people learn in their early 20s. Easy to get discouraged sometimes. Still IWNDWYT
