Celebration Time - Day 1 of my fifth year of alcohol free living
What I wanted was to change my desire…..I just wished I could desire less of it. I remember so desperately wanting to not want alcohol.
I was unhappy, exhausted, and uncomfortable with the direction my life was headed and my drinking was getting in the way of me making the changes I
I kept finding myself going to get that drink again, and again knowing how it was going to turn out.
I was frightened about so many things. Would I sleep at night, what would I do with my time, how would I keep friends, how would I relieve stress, how would I celebrate something amazing, who would console me when I was down.
