Friday.
I hope everyone makes it through the weekend without a drink. I can guarantee I will. If you're just getting started on a sober life, give it some time. The Addictive Voice is strong in early days, but it fades to a little whimper in a few months. I admit I still have some strong associations with alcohol and hot summer days, but I just dismiss the thoughts every time with a, "Yeah. A drinking thought. I don't drink." ...and it goes away. No bargaining, no attempts at agreeing with it. Just no.
If you're struggling or lurking, jump in. Outting it takes away its power.
