Hugs to you.
You know, this really isn't about 'strength'. It's about acceptance.
Acceptance that alcohol is the problem, not the solution.
Acceptance that early sobriety WILL be uncomfortable, even downright painful, but that will be temporary.
Acceptance that alcoholism is progressive, and if we keep taking that first drink things can only get worse.
And possibly, acceptance that we might need to ask for some help. Just as we would with any other illness.
