30 Days
Hi all, I just reached 30 days sober. I won't lie, it's not been easy but it's not meant to be is it. I've really noticed the difference physically and that's relinquished a lot of anxiety in my life. I'm proud I've got this far but a few times there have been the same old thoughts about having a drink again. I've thought maybe I can have a drink sometime on my own, just a couple and that it could be different to how it was before.
I know if I drink it will descend into madness again. Maybe slowly at first but that's ultimately where it will go. It always has. The definition of insanity is repeating the same process over and over and expecting a different result.
Whilst I know this is dangerous, allowing myself to flirt with the thought of having a drink one day somehow helps me feel less stressed. It recently helped with some feelings of loneliness I was having. I know I can't keep using that method as it may end up burning me.
I need to find some healthy tools to help during the harder times.
My unhealthy food cravings have really started to diminish. My sleep has improved and I'm being way more productive.
I feel like I'm ready to start working more constructively on my sobriety now.
30 days done. Day 31 feels special.
