What is coming up for me is a question;

rather than 'quitting' - would you be able to reframe to 'accepting'?

Accepting sobriety as your life path.

I know, I know... maybe that sounds subtle and hokey and lame. But seriously.... the more we focus on something the more we get of it, and to me when we focus on NOT... when we focus on QUIT.... it just magnifies the importance of the thing and in terms of alcohol - winds up empowering our Alcoholic voice.

Are you ready to choose sobriety? If you are ready to choose sobriety and the goodness that it brings, then you're not quitting; you're embracing.

Cheers to your hubby for being so supportive.... he did the right thing. I'm sure he's on your gratitude list.

Right?

Hang in there.

Thank you, I really like that. Not hokey at all, sits better with me.
Accepting sobriety as my life path. Love it.
