Hi Sue! Welcome! I know my journey has had it's ups and downs as well, but the thing that truly has helped me is a routine. Every morning I have a journal where i write a daily affirmation 15 times "I, Noam19, am now free from alcohol". After i write it 15 times i recite it 15 times. Then i check in on the daily thread here and commit to 24 hours. Of course when i started this it took time for it to become second nature and for my mind to believe myself when I recited my affirmation. But it works for me. On the daily thread AB Cowboy always has a quote. Today's was definitely in line with what works for me. "When the world feels like an emotional roller coaster, steady yourself with simple rituals. Do the dishes. Fold the laundry. Water the plants. Simplicity attracts wisdom."
