Last night I wanted a drink. No, that's a lie... Last night I wanted ALL TEH ALCOHOLZ. I didn't want a drink I wanted to totally obliterate myself with booze...but then I looked at my counter and it said 299 days and I have a thing for milestones so I didn't drink. My gorgeous friend Coralie told me to "be strong" and I sneered at her with a fierceness that is unimaginable. The last few weeks I've done nothing BUT 'be strong'... Strong is relative though. No one can ever really comprehend anyone else's struggle. Every time I post one of these updates some well-meaning punter tells me how they've been sober for five years now and "hang in there because it gets easier" and I think "bullshit". I don't usually bother to tell them I was sober for 10 years before I relapsed and every single day I wanted a drink. Seriously, if it gets easier for you - congrats, I'm happy for you. Just don't assume it works that way for everyone. So, 300 days! Now about that drink... #recoveringalcoholic #dontdodumbshit #300dayssober #addiction #addictionrecovery #onceanaddict #alwaysanaddict #addictsofinsta #misanthropicbutsoberloner
