Yay

End of day 3 😊

Friday night, 10.15pm and im in bed watching ci channel

Was tempted earlier as a friend was asking me to go to her house for a few drinks, i said no then she started with texts like, i need new friends, mine never want to know me, and went on and on, normally i would have given into this guilt trip but it made me think, wow how selfish and childish, just because i dont want to drink tonight i am a bad friend, clearly doesnt want to see me, just wants someone to drink with.

Anyways, im happy

Hope u all have great mornings/ days/ evenings, whichever time u are on

3 days is amazing. Eat when you get cravings. Drink lots of water.

About me....

I am the only one that really knows why I quit.

I didn't get arrested, go to the hospital etc.

When people ask me I tell them I couldn't take it anymore.

I tell them I have an intermittent off switch. Funny, but dangerously true.

I say it's not my thing.

It has worked so far. 90 days.

My AS is going to try to push me when I see her in on the 22nd.

It will only be awkward for a few minutes. Everyone knows I quit, even though they don't really know why, and they will back me up.

Well done!

What is helping me is prioritising my sobriety over everything. True friends will support that.

Best of luck!!!

Good work, Getagrip!!!!!!

I found that in recovery you find out who your true friends are and who views you as just someone to drink with. The former will support you in your desire not to drink and the latter considers you interchangeable with whoever they find at the bar.
