“how can it be harder than drinking?”

from my inbox:

from Sober Challenge:

“I feel so happy this time, so happy I could cry. My mindset is so different, like I know I won’t give in, no matter how hard it is OR how many times someone says ‘oh why are you bothering’! I’m under no illusion it will be easy, it’s going to be hard, but how can it be any harder than feeling awful for drinking, worrying about my body, worrying about everything. Without drinking, all I need to worry about is what I’m doing now 🙂  …  I’m sending huge thanks Belle and hugs, for starting me off on this journey.”
