I've had more false starts than I can count (only on day 27 this time, but I feel like something has definitely clicked and shifted in the right direction). One of the reasons I relapsed was because I romanticized drinking and viewed NOT drinking as deprivation. Now, I never allow myself to think about drinking without conjuring up my absolute worst memories of it. I can't continue to associate drinking with relief, relaxation, and fun when ultimately it brought me sickness, anxiety, depression, and hopelessness, you know?
Congrats on 3 days. Come join us in the January class!
