Alcohol still in the house
 
So tonight is the their night of no drinking. This morning I felt wonderful, this afternoon I felt off, had a headach and a little sluggish I suppose it's part of withdrawal. I still have a little vodka tucked away on my bedroom closet floor. I almost caved last night and too some but I overcame the urge and just went to sleep. All day today I've been thinking about why I haven't emptied that bottle out. Part of me is scare to but I don't know of what. I guess ultimately I'm afraid to fail at sobriety but then why keep this damn vodka????? WTF is wrong with me!!!!!!:c004:

Go get the bottle right now and dump it out. Don't even think about it. Get up and just do it NOW.

Your AV is scared. You are not. Dump it and feel the relief and the control you get back.

No one, no external force can control you and make you drink. YOU have a choice.

You know what to do... Alcohol NEVER makes things better for us. You have to make your life how YOU want it to be.

Sounds like it is causing stress. Added stress isn't helpful. I avoid stress if I have a choice so I would choose to pour it out then you can think about better stuff.

It really seems like the vodka should go.

Brauggi 12-03-2014 04:43 PM

I found that fear of failure was the perfect excuse for me to avoid putting the effort that I needed into sobriety. Dump the vodka and consider it your first win in your war against alcohol. You will never really fail if you don't try.

Dump it out. You can do this!

I did it!!! I poured it all out!! I turned my head away so I wouldn't smell it and have second thoughts. I feel weak and frail and I hope I can do this. I prayed for God to help me with this and I feel like he is because here I am another night sober

You are brave and we are proud of you. It all starts with a leap of faith, a willingness to surrender ourselves and trust that sobriety is the path to the light, the path out of our "glass prison". Well done! Rooting for you!
