Well Im only into my third week of freedom and its going well. I have caught my beast on a few occasions... but Im pleased it isnt on my back as much as I thought it would be. It just pops up randomly, usually with images of a bottle, and a craving "oh its been a hard day at work".... I respond "oh there you are **** off".... and purposefully redirect my thinking. Do you think this is right?
I went on my first sober date this week in my entire life. It was nerve wracking. The guy thought my non-drinking was ridiculous "c'mon it's Xmas"... and when he bought me a drink to the table, I got up and left.
I now know I want a non drinking partner! Or atleast someone who respects my position. I dont know if thats possible. It must be? How do y'all cope if your partner drinks? Is it an issue?
