Carrie just a little secret to let you in on.
Do you remember ever NOT going some where because you were not going to be able to drink at all? I sure do!!! Some times I would just flat out say NO, I am not going, I gave no one an explanation because I did not need to!
Well guess what, I did the exact same thing a few times in early sobriety............ I just did not go because my sobriety was and still is the most important thing in my life! Why? Because I know that if I drink again I will lose every single thing I gained due to my sobriety along with eveything else I did not lose when I was a drunk!
When I became willing to do what ever it took to stay sober I learned that the word NO is not only a word..... but a complete sentence.
