I thought about it, but after doing research about how they work I don't know if they right for me.

I didn't know if I could do the first six months either.

But what I DID know was that I couldn't do 180 more hangovers with sweating, chills, diarrhea, heart palpitations, and feelings of doom.

Besides of just not drinking?

wow.

Not-drinking does not treat the initial causes that lead you to start drinking in the first place. If you want to be comfortable in your own skin, try taking action that attracts equanimity into your life.

Yes stopping drinking is a very good start however it’s not usually the end all.

We still are the same people who we were when we started our sober journey carrying the same issues in most cases.

I and most recovered alcoholics needed to work and change certain characteristics we carry and used alcohol to escape from the issues of life.

Fear is/was the top contender along with other feelings that we tried to cover up.

It’s a process that is certainly well worth the effort.

Just think of being comfortable in your skin most of the time.

BE WELL

I only have to do what is in front of me. Then I get to sleep. This is much easier than structuring my whole day around my drinking but wasn't at first cuz I had more practice at that. Doing life sober repetitively is progressive and gets funner, easier and more rewarding sooner than you think. Congrats on 40+ days!
