All I do is think of drinking, all day every day. I'm done.
Thank you for all your help. You all incredible. Gabe x
Oh, Gabe, sweetheart. (((((Gabe)))))
No.
You can do this.
Early times can be so tough with so many ups and downs and doubts.
Please hang in; sobriety and recovery are so very incredible.
Socializing is different in sobriety; it is one of those things to which we have learn to adjust (and mostly from within). We have to examine that issue and resolve the underlying cause. For me, it was a feeling of inadequacy. I never looked to what I liked myself only what I perceived were imperfections. Some of those 'imperfections' were what (as it turns out) I actually liked about myself - the rest of the world, shoo.
