Between making the decision to get Sober and actually getting Sober, I spent a year continually relapsing.
I needed to accept that abstinence doesn't cure or somehow fix me, 1 drink will always open the flood gates to a binge, I am NOT cured!! After that I needed to get a plan in place, one that creates both support and accountability.
The biggest factor was not simply taking out alcohol from my life and continuing on, that simply creates a whole lot of time sitting around bored and guess what, thinking about alcohol, which always ended in disaster. Instead I needed to carve out a new Sober lifestyle, a whole new pattern of life that does not facilitate the drinking of alcohol!!
You can do this!!
