!st sober Thanksgiving in 42 years
I spent this thanksgiving with my older brother and his kids and thier kids. There was no booze anywhere I went. I've now been sober 1 year 4 months 15 days and no crack 75 days.
The issue I felt guilty about was having no money and not contributing to the cause.
The annoying thing in general for me staying sober is the temptation. If I'm in an environment where using is going on and friends are enjoying themselves, temps me to want to indulge. Always checking myself gets to be aggrevating.
But I play the tape all the way through to remind myself of the consequences if I take just one drink. And now after the time I have benn sober, I have to honestly admit that I am better off without using, cant denigh it. Mainly though I just "suffer through" the bad feelings and beating myself up for getting myself into this situation. Thanks for the post it helps
