Happy Friday everyone,
As of today, I have gone 3 months and 3 weeks without a drink. For the most part, I have been staying busy with work and reading a ton of books. I haven't really been tempted to drink since I stopped in June..until a few days ago. My AV is telling me that I can try again and successfully limit my alcohol intake, but my rational mind knows that's false. Luckily, I haven't gone to the store and impulsively bought anything yet, and I don't think I will. The idea, however, keeps popping into my head.
What's stopping me from going to the store and picking up a few six packs is the shame I know I'll have after I break my almost-4-month-old sobriety. I don't want to feel that. On the other hand, I miss drinking with my friends. And it's pumpkin beer season.
It's been a while since I've posted here (really it's been a while since I felt like I needed to). I'm glad to get this off my chest and to share my thoughts with someone who understands the struggle.
