Hello new friends :)
 

I cannot believe I am actually here but I am proud of myself for taking a giant leap of faith.

Today is 7th day...tomorrow will be a full week since I ended my love-hate relationship with vodka or chardonnay. I consider it a romantic break up - I have to focus on the negatives and not fall into romanticizing times I had with Mr. Bottle. Naturally, Mr. Bottle has been begging me to come back, using seductive and pleading gestures.

This morning I woke to Mr. Bottle's whispering in my ear how I should get a nice glass of vodka with cranberry juice so that I can go through today feeling like a goddess wanna be.

So here I am....this is going to be one of my tools to survive this messy breakup! I am SICK and TIRED of these nightmarish days of guilt, self hatred, laziness and making excuses. Mr. Bottle is NOT worth losing my self dignity over!! This 3 year long miserable relationship has to end.

Here I am :)

Welcome,

You will find a lot of support here!

Way to go, putting that evil AV (alcohol voice) to bed, it is an evil evil thing it tries to do to us. Keeping it at bay is best!

Welcome to the family. :)

Welcome to SR🙂

I just said something of the exact same a few moments ago in my thread. LOL I also just joined today. Great minds with great timing! It feels good to not feel alone. So "hi" to you!

Welcome! I think characterizing your relationship with alcohol this way will be helpful! Maybe I'll give it a try too :)

Welcome Gem - and congrats on your week :)
