It has actually gotten easier as the days, weeks, months passed. I stopped because of health reasons. I thought I was gonna die, really. My issues are with my stomach, but I thought it was so much more and I am so thankful it wasn't. That was the scare I needed to stop totally.
I know I can't even have one drink because one will not be enough. I am so proud that today someone called to ask if we had any run for a recipie they were doing. We didn't have any in the house. Back in the day when I did have the rum, I would have never admited I had any because I was a closet binge drinker. I also wouldn't have ever loaned any of my good stuff to anyone. What if I ran out? It just reminded me of how far I am come and it all started out reading post on this website. I didn't stay sober on my first try or my 2nd or even my third. This is the longest I have gone without drinking since I took my first sip. I am really proud of myself, but I know I am just one drink away from going back to the binge drinker I used to be. So I don't go to liquor stores. I don't buy that first bottle.
Is it easy now not to drink? Well, yeah it kinda is. I like that! I hope each of you have days where you can look back and say it's getting easier to stay AF!!!!
