Sobriety (Day 3)

I can tell you're a good dad by being there for you kid, those people in your life are the ones that save you from yourself

Glad this popped up in my algorithm, white knuckling day 4 here - keep it up man 👍

Hungry angry lonely or tired all dangerous places oh add bars too lol. Obsession & compulsion once that settles in you will likely drink unless you have options, your facing the DISEASE now and better find something to hold onto and change the way you feel. So i remember those first days I have 19 years coming up, i had a few close calls but i had relapsed so many times in the past new what was going on, SO i went into prayer that was my action behind the obsession and I was given a way out,. Once i simply said to myself im gonna take a shower and get ready to go use IF i get out of the shower not wanting to use i wont go by the time i was done the obsession left me and I stayed sober I also called my sponsor which was hard because I HAD TO TELL ON MYSELF. Look we know its more then we can handle alone and if you don't think so then your lying to yourself or in denial, we all need support from something or some one or both, this is why AA and NA work for a lot of us, but you have to be willing most aren't willing to be rigorously honest AND DO EVERYTHING THAT IS SUGGESTED , thats the first step ADMIT we are powerless and if you think you have that power then quit forever on your own many have done it but usually they have a damn good important reason too like losing a loved one or a family, going to jail or prion, DYING etc etc. and just maybe they weren't REAL ALCOHOLICS because honestly most cant do it alone if they are period. It cunning, its baffling and its powerful .

be strong my friend it will pass, we are with you. cheers from brazil

Stay strong!

Only recently found your channel, but I'm really proud to see you trying to recover! Keep it up man, and all my best wishes to you.

Well done. Have you tried pouring a nice non alco cider into a nice whisky glass with heaps of ice to sip on as a placebo for when you get home from work. It works for me.

It gets better.

I work in the oilpatch and work 3 weeks on and 2 weeks off. For those 3 weeks im sober, when the days off start i see alcohol as a reward and it spirals into the dt's but im trying to change. Hang in bud

Day 3... Go you! Mind over grog, you can do it

im 29 i drink 15 beers day 12oz 5 percent abv no big deal right

Imagine you are on a desert island with no alcohol but you had food and water. Would you die? No. You'd be healthy. Be a man ! You can do it. Do it for your family.

Get out of the house as much as you can

is it crazy to say I can already see the changes in your face.
