Here holding strong, but I will say, the "what if" is creeping into my mind. I have to remember, I'm doing this sober journey for a better life. I do have a good life, in fact, I'm fortunate in many ways, but drinking didn't help my life one bit. Drinking the way I did, way too much, too many times, didn't get me anything wonderful or fantastic at all.
Stay strong, I have been a little bit the same, but we know what will happen if we listen to that voice. I know I just can't go there. X
ReplyDeleteThanks PDTD, you are right, we know what will happen. I holding hands with you through this...
DeleteWhat if’s are ok. We all have them.
ReplyDeleteThey are just thoughts. Not ones we need to act on.
Change is hard. Recognizing that this is our choice, to not drink, to be happy, to be clear headed and free, that’s the power.

Thank you Anne, that's the power I want to posse, and while it's hard, it's worth it!
DeleteI always remember the bad times. Not to shame myself, but to understand that I will be right back there if I drink again.
ReplyDeleteThat romancing feelings are the hardest, but the reality is, my life is much better sober!
Keep on Lia!!

Thank you lovely Wendy! I do have to remember the bad times, to keep reminding myself why I need to do this for myself. With time, I'm hoping the "what ifs" don't pop into my head any longer. xoxo, ll
