⚡️Every time you refuse the urge to drink, you’re reprogramming/rewiring your brain. It’s called brain plasticity. That’s why it’s harder at first because there’s so many thoughts of using. Each sober thought/moment is a new neural network laid down. When you’re craving, think about new networks ⚡️
I will!! It’s funny. I’ve done 30 days before when I’ve done restricted diets. But always counted down to day 31. It’s like a switch went off and I have no desire to drink. Haven’t missed it and made new evening habits. I’m feeling really good! Today would have normally been a trigger day and I won.
I was pretty much the same way. I realized one day that I had been drinking more years than I had been sober, so gave myself until the day after my birthday, and quit. I detoxed in my car under the Skyline Bridge near Tampa until I found a sober house. Tried quitting plenty before, but landed it!
I put together all the tools I learned on previous sobriety endeavors to get me through it. I had a few days of doubt here and there, but never really looked back.

And you're up to it!
Congratulations 🌹
AA says a day at a time. The Dooby Brothers sang about “minute by minute.” In my early sobriety, there were times I made it second by second!
However you do it just remember you’re worthy.
JUST SAYING THOUGH CONGRATULATIONS
