I planned on drinking tonight when I get off work cause I'm off tomorrow. They asked me to come in and I'm still planning on drinking.
I know it's a bad idea but I don't care. I see that I obviously should be working more on my recovery but I don't care.
This is the only place I have for support right now... So here I am reaching out. I don't know why or if it'll help.
Thanks for reading. Back to work I go..
Sometimes that desire arises.
You don't have to act on it.
It's your CHOICE.
You've got a great foundation on a sober life, it seems like it would be a pretty big sacrifice to throw that away and return to the toxic despair of alcohol.
These desires can be a turning point.... we can use them as milestone signs that it's time to take some new actions to deepen our sobriety.
Get to a meeting, read the Big Book, call a sober role model, speak with a counselor, enroll in a martial art.... take a new SOBER ACTION.
I'm glad you shared and I'm glad you turned here... that is an ACTION which supports your continued, deepening sobriety and a rich, abundant, joyful. life.
What's the NEXT SOBER ACTION you'll take?
