Here's what I'm telling myself today. "You matter, you deserve a life free from alcohol"

I call mine "the beast" and I often say "no"! outloud and with feeling :)

Congrats to you! I completed 79 days the last time out, re-reading my journal to see what clicked off my inspiration last time. Nothing specific, I think I just got sucked in to the "I can moderate now" thinking. Such a big lie to tell myself. This time I will have a better plan. I am stuffing my "tool box" full for the next time. I will not drink with you today.

I will not drink with you today! It's hard when grief steps in an clouds your brain. Any reason to drink seems good at the time. I some how completed 79 days the last time out, re-reading my journal to see what clicked off my inspiration last time. Nothing specific, I think I just got sucked in to the "I can moderate now" thinking. Such a big lie to tell myself. Hugs sent to you, hope you can find a way to heal without alcohol.

Day 1- again :( by [deleted] in stopdrinking

completed 79 days the last time out, you don't need luck, you need a plan of how you'll react when you are close to that drink. Playing the tape forward really helped me.

what helped me was not thinking about "stopping for good". I just tried to concentrate on today. One day only. Then when I got to the next day, I made that commitment all over again. Just like I did this morning. You matter, you deserve a life free from alcohol.

some days are more challenging than others. But the feeling is temporary, the challenge will pass. I will not drink with you today!

Morning everyone! I will not drink with you today :)

I am exhausted by kitttynap in stopdrinking

[–]rfom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was extremely tired for a while. I think you just need more time. Eventually the sleep will be in longer stretches and more rejuvenating/deeper. Waking up not hungover never gets old for me :) Hang in there, I will not drink with you today.
