It has been in my bedding cupboard ever since as I just couldn't do it. I couldn't drink it. Why is it still there? I mean talk about making things harder than they need to be. It's going right now. I can't tip it I don't want to smell it. Outside bin will have to......just telling in myself sorry I didnt sooner xxx

Jo, good for you on getting rid of it!
I'm in for another day of sobriety. Congratulations to today's celebrants and all who commit to sobriety today.
I've been feeling a little resentment or anger lately. I need to work through it because in the past it's been the first step to a relapse . I guess recognizing it is a good thing . I know part of the answer is acceptance but, that's can be a difficult thing to achieve for me because I can be pretty stubborn at times.

(((jsm))) Recognizing the resentment is a crucial first step! That was a lightbulb moment for me. It's not easy to work through the anger & resentment but you do have the power and you can do it. Take care!

I read something Dee wrote a while ago about drinking on a resentment. It was something like pouring poison down your throat and expecting the other person to die..... That guy knows his stuff!
Anyway you're certainly not alone feeling this way......I hope you find some peace today JSM

“If there's just one piece of advice I can give you, it’s this - When there’s something you really want, fight for it, don’t give up no matter how hopeless it seems. And when you’ve lost hope, ask yourself if 10 years from now, you’re gonna wish you gave it just one more shot. Because the best things in life, they don’t come free.”
6:15am in Alberta, today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!
I'll have 24 more please and thanks...

Be proud Joand. The path of all our new lives- sober is made up on the progress we take in every single- sometimes anguishing step. Today it took a herculean effort for me to get about 5 yards. No matter- progress is progress.
