Will sobriety ever get easier?
I've been off the sauce for 5 months. All I can thin about is getting another drink. Will it ever end?
Answers:
It's a daily struggle.
don't give up. It will always be with you, that thought, that urge....but remember the end results. Isn't life better with out the sauce. I know I wouldn't want to go back, and no one or not one thing could make me be THAT person again.
yes, if you stop messing around and change your playgrounds, playmates and playthings. oh, and walking down memory lane.
get on your knees and ask your higher power to remove the compulsion. i promise you that it will end. get other interests, do the suggested reading and work the steps. it does get better. hang in there. if you don't have a program, get to a 12 step fellowship and get a sponsor and help to follow the program.
No, but you can substitute. Try non-alcoholic (!) beer for starters. To wean myself of of alcohol, I found that mixing ginger ale and grape juice helped. Also, a good strenuous workout will help kill the caving. Good luck.
