Out with the old in with the new
I am just grateful I did not wake up -sweaty/bloated/sick to my stomach/weak. I needed to type this out this morning. To read what I had been doing to myself. Waking up crying *what is wrong with me*
I think I can do this today *stay sober* one more day.
Today is what matters staying sober today.
I hope everyone has a great day today. Soul searching, nurturing do one nice thing for yourself

There was a quote on a thread awhile ago that I remember and repeat to myself in the morning...
"No one wakes up and says, I'm so glad I drank last night!"
Just stay sober one day at a time!

Great post! When I was first trying to get sober I realized that self care was so important in order for me to be successful.
We spend so much time feeling shame and disgust with ourselves but this is so counter productive to what our broken bodies and minds need to heal.

Go to a bar, have a drink and escape. Lively enviornment I need an outlet, bored and lonely
I get cravings for a noon pub crawl - crazy. I woke up with such resolve -now I am weak

cravings can come and go like waves, they get smaller and easier to deal with as time goes on. I found the more cravings I made it through the easier they were to deal with when they happened.
There's a thread on "urge surfing" somewhere around here that was helpful for me in learning to deal with them.

It's what you do when you are craving or struggling that flips the script. In the past, you may have reached for the substance. Now you are reasoning it out. After doing that my mind finally let go of the cravings because is all it was going to get was me posting about the situation.
