Start of day 7

Starting day 7! Yesterday was hard as I was entertaining the idea of one drink🤬
I have never just had one drink in my whole dam life!
I am so angry for just thinking about it

As Dee would say, by not drinking yesterday you were building your sober muscles.

Those challenging times come often during early sobriety but you can successfully get through them. There is a great SR thread on urge surfing:

Yeah, each time you get through one of those cravings, it will get easier for you. Great job on Day 7.

Congrats on day 7 Quitorelse

There’s nothing we can do to change the past, no matter how much we want to – but there’s a heck of a lot we can do with today... I think that’s where our attention should lie?

7 days is wonderful, Quit. When I finally admitted there was never going to be 'just one' I was able to face reality, and stop all together.
