Sobertimeforme

I drank for many years.. Last year April 2009 I got sober for Eight months.. The reason I was able to stop drinking was that I met someone got into a very quick and intense relationship that lasted for eight months.. What I am realizing now is that I was able to transfer my drinking into a very codependent relationship that was a crutch for my drinking and really did not do the hard work to be sober and STAY sober. I am talking about the emotional healing and working on the root of why I drank..and why I need a crutch.

Now that I am on my own this second time it is very difficult... I am trying to keep myself busy and keep reminding myself that my sobriety is the most important thing to me right now.. It is so difficult...I am trying to learn why I need to drink and start to move my life into a positive direction..
