Hi all, I am in recovery, been sober 1 1/2 years. Still have a hard time with urges, especially around family gatherings. This will be my second holiday season sober. I have an exit plan if needed. Sometimes I get anxious around my own family, drinking always took that away. I self medicated all my life, finally got clean and got real help 2 years ago. I drank with the meds for the first 6 months, that didnt work out so well so I stopped drinking. Now I just try to stay positive but my depression gets the best of me every time and i am left to sit with it. That is when I deal with urges, and I have them everyday still. I just want to get rid of my thoughts. Wondering if anyone else has feelings like that...
