Standing my Ground
Good Morning Everyone,
After years of consuming approximately 1 liter of vodka per day, going through delirium tremens, suffering a seizure and, subsequently, a broken shoulder - I was able to realize some personal strength today. I have been sober for almost a year, but a stressful situation presented itself this morning - one that previously would have made me turn instantly to the bottle. The urge was there like I was staring it in the face. I slowed down, stopped, realized how far I have come and let the urge to drink pass me. I am an alcoholic. I am also pleased with myself for paring down the situation to what it is - an addiction - and one that I can and have to fight.
Stand up for yourself when alcoholic cravings hit you! You are stronger than you might think.
Fondly,
Ryan
