Just gonna whisper
Week 1 under my belt. 🙌🙌🙌🙌. .........
Feeling good, but up an down, that rollercoaster is a ride that doesn't wanna let me off.........
I feel like I'm having all the seasons in one day, so to speak........
But I know I have to go through it 😣, it's just exhausting.....I keep telling myself the positive stuff, I'm talking, reading, and doing all I can for distractions.....
I have stupid thoughts in my head, which I'm silencing...
And I know the thoughts pass.........
I also know I don't want to drink.........
I've been thinking of all the past stuff,whilst drunk, that put me in dangerous situations.......
I will never allow that to happen again........
So for today......I WILL NOT DRINK🙌🙌🙌🙌
And that's all I need to do today
Much love to everyone 🙏💖

Great job on a week!
That roller coaster will start to flatten out, I promise. I remember how uncomfortable I was in the early weeks - It was not fun at all. Crying one minute, happy and laughing the next. Keep going - it's so worth it.

Definitely steady as she goes , been here before that's why I put "just gonna whisper"
I'm not putting pressure on myself, I'm just taking it slowly and surly, chipping away as you put it 😄.
Thank for all the support ......
Could do with one of your bad jokes 🌞😂🌞

Hey D47, congrats on a week!
Just a suggestion as it helped me a lot in the first month was to get a notepad and write! When your head is full of these thoughts and memories and guilt/shame get it all out in paper in it’s rawest form as it hits. Firstly it’s good to get it out of your head and gives you room to breath but secondly it will come in handy in a few months time when you hit that point we all get to where we feel so much better and are starting to forget how bad it was in those first few weeks. That was my greatest ammunition against the AV back then and super effective xx
