Скачать или смотреть Insights After 4 Months Sober!

So I decided end of January that I was becoming dependent on my vodka/cranberry. It went from ocassional use to every evening after work use and earlier use on the weekends. I knew as a mental health therapist this was not only not good for my clients and as a practictioner but also as a human being! I used alcohol to ease my anxiety, help me sleep better, bring up my anger in non productive ways (because I stuck it inside for so long) and escape - escape my feelings (except happy ones ha). But after becoming dependent on it, I saw how it compromised me and hurt my friends and family. I would get angry easily, I started to need to have a drink for any and every reason. I was heading towards alcoholism and that's NOT the direction i wanted to go in. I did not do any groups (although I'm still hoping for an online AA or NA group) and I basically quit one day and asked myself to go ONE week without it. Then another week and then it became a whole month! As of June 2022 I am sober 4 months!! I have not been sober this long since 2/2014. I started drinking late (in my 40's) it had never become a problem for me - in fact I'd often be the sober one. But when I started to feel like my life was not ending up as I saw it, I developed a relationship with alcohol that I make akin to the alcohol being my pimp and me "his girl". He was always there for me but didn't really treat me well or bring out the best in me. He often made me feel like I could not do anything on my own or was good enough. He made me angry too and it hurt me and hurt others. I don't know what the future holds, none of us do.....but I am SO happy for these past 4 months!!
