24Hour Recovery Connection Part 347
^^^^^^ this!!!!!
I'm just the same Suze. 1 or 2 drinks? I'd don't think I've EVER had 1 or 2 drinks!
I too think my AV wants me so far in the clutches of addction that I'll die. That's it's end game. Me dead.
It takes on many disguises.
"You aren't coping"
"You're fatter and uglier now than before"
"Sobriety makes you tired and easily run down. It doesn't suit you"
"You don't deserve this new life"
"Who the f**k do you think you are giving advice out on SR?"
"Blissful oblivion that's what you need"
"Forever? Don't make me laugh!"
etc etc etc......
It is the master of disguise and my mortal enemy.
It can GO TO HELL.
Aah that's better!
We are stronger together and IT hates that!
24 more please!

You are brave and I am betting you will be glad you did it once you heal a bit....sending more love. ♥♥♥
I had read similar (but even less favorable) statistics after I started my sober journey, too. Someone close to me said that I would NEVER be able to do it.
Well, people through my life had told me that I wasn't smart enough, not tall enough, not pretty enough, not something enough . . . .
No one or no statistic was going to tell me I wasn't strong enough to do this sobriety thing!!!! I had a sticky on my refrigerator that read
No one really asked me about it. My husband once asked me "Do you still want this up here? What is it for? I answered "Yes" and "Everything".

In for 24 more hours of sobriety and sanity...looks like we are going to be hit with a big winter storm! I am already fighting with 'cabin fever' and now I am feeling alittle anxiety from the possibility of being "trapped" (just one of my phobias). One breath at a time.
"Simply put, the only way you can receive the benefits of accountability is to accept the fact that everything you accomplish (or don’t accomplish) in life is determined by the amount of responsibility you take."
