We could be at the lowest low of the day, and someone, a stranger could walk into your life and change your outlook on the day! We just need to listen and hear the stranger.
I did survive the day. I keep thinking of the post I read a couple days ago on "Willpower". I want lots of it. I'm fighting. I'm fighting.
God bless!
Thanks for your new blog, and thank you for sharing. I don't so much believe in willpower but rather in acceptance. I often think of people who have deadly food allergies, they have to accept that they just cannot eat that food or they will die. That is what's like for me, to drink is to die. I know if I pick up again I may never get sober again. That said, it also took me a while to get sober and stay sober. But accepting that I could not drink, helped me focuse on all that things that I can now do because I don't drink! Hugs and hang in!

ReplyDeleteAnd here you are on Day 3. If i promised that it gets easier, would you believe me? You've got lots of 'strangers' in your life who happy to lift you up when you need it. Look, there's one at the door right now!
ReplyDeleteWillpower, acceptance, strangers offering comfort...you use whatever works to keep you sober JUST FOR TODAY.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow will still be there when today is done.
Great job!!! So proud of you.

I especially like what SoberMomRocks says above. It's true! Just get through today without a drink. Of course we can do that. It will get easier. You're doing beautifully.
