I just want to tell you that my worst days sober are better than my best days drunk although hard to admit these days, but no matter how hard life can get sometimes I know that if I were to take that first drink, it would just make matters so much worse.
Keep it up and Keep It Simple, it works...  |
I was sober/dry for 8 years...yes some really good sobriety...got married in sobriety and divorce...my world fell apart. I tried to reach out and all I got was directed to pdoc and T. No one helped me with the steps...so I'm trying to reconnect but it's still hard. I'm counting days and I don't want to drink again out of loneliness.
So I'm trying my best...and that's the best I can do. I'm reaching out to others...it kept me sober before...helping someone else helps me...and I'm not alone. I just have to extra careful that I don't let them get me drunk. I tried once and I failed there cause I was having resentment and the drunk told me lies and I believed them.
So I stay away from ppl who want me to drink with them. They'll get me drunk before I can get them sober. I learned that lesson and I'm aware of it.
So that's imho...lol I like that saying IMHO...in my honest opinion.
