Day 7

This time last week I was desperately trying to find an elaborate way to get another drop inside me. To numb that pain and fill that gap for just a little longer. Needless to say I found a way and if i could find a way to harness that creativity and desperation into something positive i'd be able to conquer the world. Problem solving at its finest I tell you. True and genuine addiction.

Today i'm sober and elements of my last binge are still lingering around but i dont want a drink. Damage my drinking has caused in my life still need to be addressed but alcohol wont be what solves the problem. The fire that burns inside me and the addictive creativity harnessed from somewhere else will be what does it.

Good morning everyone x

It sounds like you have a good outlook on your sobriety and I'm glad you have made it to Day 7.

Dim, this is day 8 for me. I feel kind of like a baby learning to walk. I too realized I want to live and be happy and get back to the positive, happy fun loving social butterfly I used to be, I also have to start repairing the damage left by my drinking, it's not going to be easy, but that darn bottle took more from me than it gave, thank goodness I finally see that
