Helbel
Being 7 months down the line, I can say that the triggers stay, but if you can recognise them you can beat them
I am currently in danger of losing my job, which 7 months ago would have sent me straight to the nearest bar (which conveniently is both directly below and next door to my office)
However now, I realise that wont help, it will give me a brief buzz, then drop me into worse despair.
I treasure my sobriety now. Sobriety is the crutch I need to keep me going, not drunkenness
Keep on, life still sucks, but it sucks better without booze
