Good morning gang.
I'm posting in the March class. You can start to see a pattern to our drinking struggles. Tough start at the begging of the month. Start gaining some traction and optimism mid month. Then 7-14 days of sobriety you start to see the slips and relapses as the month comes to an end. I know I was the same in the past.
With so many clear patterns in addictive behavior it's unfortunate it's so hard to stop it.
I feel a bit like the coach. I've seen it, done it and can offer advice. But, we have to be willing to act on the advice. Sometimes the pull to drink is so strong that it's easy to give in.
Just some reflection. I'm not going to drink today, because I don't drink.
