Just poured out my whole liquor cabinet
Thanks all. Every time I tried sobriety in the past I kept my stash, telling myself it didnt matter because Id always have a liquor store close by anyway so whats the difference? If im gonna drink im gonna drink. Now I think thats just a little too easy to walk downstairs and have a taste. Plus, since im not touching it again theres no point in having it around.
It is only important to get it out of the house if you are liable to drink it. I recommend getting rid of it all, no empties either, for a long time. If you hang around the barbershop long enough, you know what can happen. You might just catch a fish. I think that's how that goes?
Sobriety is a game of inches. There is not one thing you need to do it is a whole series concrete actions. Each one plugs a hole that your addictive voice will try to exploit. Sobriety is a way of life not a diet.
Keeping sober is the most important thing in my life. The most important decision I ever made was my decision to give up drinking. I am convinced that my whole life depends on not taking that first drink. Nothing in the world is as important to me as my own sobriety. Everything I have, my whole life, depends on that one thing.
Can I afford ever to forget this, even for one minute?

Thats hard Mafalda, apart from beer, which i don't like, knowing that there is alcohol in the house makes me obsess about drinking it. My husband is a heavy drinker but he is really helping me with my sobriety at the moment by not having alcohol in the house. Maybe a heart to heart with your husband might help. Could he not transfer his precious collection to storage somewhere?

The one thing I have discovered really needs to go are the little tumblers I used every day for soda. I loved them--they are Mexican blown glass--but they also have an association for me with mixed drinks. I think I deserve a fresh start with new soda glasses that have no association with alcohol.

That sounds like a creative, win-win solution, Mafalda. You are doing great!
