LifeChanges

Today was day 5 for me. Or could have been. 1-4 was really easy. Today is my husbands birthday so we went to a brewery. Once you start it’s so hard to stop.
Just my guilty conscience posting since I’ve been browsing for a while now.

I hope this time you achieve lasting sobriety.

So that means you had beers or drinks?

Ya know, there's always going to be an excuse. Always a holiday, a party, a birthday, a death, a promotion, a day that ends in Y.

I've made it through a lot of those occasions without a drink, and they are much better sober.

At some point you have to be honest and if you are done, be committed.

You know what, LifeChanges, your log in name is exactly what it took for my recovery to take...life changes. Big life changes. Like not going to breweries when I was five days sober.

Yeah, there is always a reason to drink.

I couldn't be around alcohol for many months when I stopped drinking. I hope that you make this your last Day 1.

LifeChanges

Yep, had 2 beers, and came home and opened wine. I’m done now but should have never broken my easy streak.
I agree, there is always something to celebrate, or mourn, or drink to.
This is so hard. I’m not new. But I am always new it seems.

LifeChanges

Yes doggonecarl that’s why I chose this name. I knew it would take big LifeChanges.
But this is so hard for me. I really try. Maybe not hard enough for it to work or in anyone else’s opinion. But honestly, I make some changes for the better. Not good enough I know.
