This morning I woke up sick and shaking, planning a beer run and I started to think about my life and how it's getting worse and worse. I decided to wait 20 minutes to get the beer. Then after the 20 minutes was up I decided to wait an hour and so far I've made it all day. I am very sick and I need a drink but I want my life back more. I broke up with bf today bc we always trigger each other to drink. I'll never be able to stay sober if I'm with him.
They say you have to "hit bottom" before you decide that you might have a drinking problem. It sounds like you've hit a bottom...So the only way to go is up. One day sober is huge...It sounds like you've been through a lot lately & it would be easy to get a case of the "---- its" & drink over things. Fact is, you're not. You're identifying your triggers & are trying to stay sober just for today. Eventually, if you stay focused on each day of sobriety, you'll dig yourself out & be "happy, joyous & free," believe it, or not. Keep us posted...
