Escaping booze

Alcohol dependent, and trying not to be. Hopefully I will find like minded souls.

@ownsobriety I always find it a little disrespectful when potential employers keep people hanging without any communication after interviews. I appreciate that the process can drag on, but quick updates on whether one is still in the running or not don’t cost much time.

I always said that my goal was to find my off-switch & establish self-control. Abstinence is the tool I am using to make that easier, by ridding myself of cravings. Getting there.....

[Escaping booze @BoozeEscaping]

This might not seem like much - I have not have abstained from alcohol every night in January. But I have been fully in control for 30/31 days. That’s a big step forward. #odaat #sober #regainingcontrol

@manwithnopants Luckily my dad taught me that anything can be overcome with enough desire to do so. #sober #odaat #RIPdad

@TheSoberOwlie @GirlWhoWrites2 I feel sorry for people whose tiny minds cannot cope with such minor “transgressions”. Then I deliberately go out of my way to offend them. It’s great fun 😈

[Escaping booze @BoozeEscaping]

@TheSoberOwlie Big steps, but for the better. Keep staying strong

@Joanneruddock5 @soberpod Wish I could... but when the switch is tripped, the bottle keeps pouring.

[Escaping booze @BoozeEscaping]

@ProgramsPhoenix That’s lovely, thank you so much.

[Escaping booze @BoozeEscaping]

Update after work trip. I caved ... ☹️ I’m sorry guys, after all the support you gave me. Back to 2 days sober now... but I know my triggers better, so that’s something, I hope. Feeling a lot of disgust at myself right now.

[Escaping booze @BoozeEscaping]

@soberpod The latter reason is why I have stopped....

We should practise by showing affection and helping one another. It is a mistake to pursue happiness and to seek to the avoid suffering by deceiving and humiliating other people. We must try to achieve happiness and eliminate suffering by being considerate and good-hearted.

@RecoveryTerm Nobody can change the past, only our attitude to the present. I have overcome how some historical issues affected me by staying focussed on what *I* can control. That road led me to starting to get sober.... whilst I’ve had setbacks, I’m happier overall. #odaat

@justgot2bme247 @soberpod @sipandsink @Soberista1 Big hugs

[Escaping booze @BoozeEscaping]

@igbell2 @justgot2bme247 @soberpod @sipandsink @Soberista1 I’m 3 days sober now. Thank you!

[Escaping booze @BoozeEscaping]

@RecoveryTerm @justgot2bme247 @soberpod @sipandsink @Soberista1 Thank you all! In the same way drinking became normalised in my life, I really hope that sobriety will too. #odaat

[Escaping booze @BoozeEscaping]

@TheSoberOwlie I’m coming to believe it’s an incremental process. As long as I keep inching closer to control, I’ll be able to stay positive. Keep strong!

[Escaping booze @BoozeEscaping]

@TheSoberOwlie Thanks Owlie

[Escaping booze @BoozeEscaping]

@JoshSimonsen Thanks Josh. I do actually feel a lot more in control than before. Two of the nights I slipped were big parties, and I drank less than I normally would have. Baby steps, I guess. #odaat

[Escaping booze @BoozeEscaping]

@justgot2bme247 I’ve not given up on giving up!
