I also take away the desire to drink.
I DONT WANT IT. I DONT NEED IT. MY DRINKING IS SCARY AND TOXIC. I CONTROL MY ARMS, LEGS, HANDS, FEET AND MOUTH.
Here is an exercise.
Tell yourself out loud, “ I HAVE to walk to the wall and back, I HAVE to walk to the wall and back,….(repeat as you exaggerate begrudgingly walk style-head low, shoulders shrugged, slow dragging steps).
Sucked, right?
Now, do this:
Say to yourself out loud, while you are walking to the wall and back, shoulders straight, head held high, a little smile, nice paced stride, “I CHOOSE to walk to the wall and back, I WANT to walk to the wall and back, I CHOOSE to walk to the wall and back, …..”
BIG difference, yes?
You are not stuck in sobriety. You don’t HAVE to. That makes it drudgery.
Do you WANT it? Do you CHOOSE it?
Prayers for your struggles, 100. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😍
