My demon was tobacco. In a few more days, I'll be 47 years clean from nicotine. Every single one of those days in all those years, I got a smug chuckle over having beaten my demon. Every day clean feels better than the one before.
this is what One Day At A Time really means. You get the very nice surprise of accumulation of VERY HARD WORK! Your crazy internet uncle is VERY proud of you.
yea can understand. ive done that in 2018, i was tired of seeing my brother drunk af and i heard he did hit his wife while he was drunk sometimes. i said nop. not gonna happen to me and havnt drink any alcohol since. the only acceptable is when i cook (in the dish not in my glasses) :)
and now i barrely see them cause there is no alcohol at home :D i made 2 rules in my house. - 1 if you want to drink alcohol here, you bring your bottle, you can leave it here its fine i wont drink it, and you ll have it next time. - 2 i stopped smoking in 2017, so now if you want to smoke you go outside even if it rain and -10c, idc.
Some days I'd have to keep telling myself, "I'll have a smoke in another five minutes." And then another five. The minutes eventually turn into days, and then weeks.It gets easier after a while.
You don’t know me, and most likely you never will. But I want you to know that I am so very proud of you and I want nothing more than for you to continue to take care of yourself. Please keep doing that, okay?
Nice one. I’ve been off of nicotine for over a year now. Never thought I could. I’ve been alcohol free a couple months to support my brother in his journey off of dependency. I get wistful about it.
It does. Some days will suck. Other days you will think to yourself ‘how stupid of me to ever think I needed that’. So use the good ones to get through the bad ones. You’ve got this!
Well done that person there!!! Stick with it!!! Won't always be easy, but it does get better and you'll be able to better handle whatever shit gets tossed your way. 46 years this September, and it's has been a wonderful experience.

Many thanks! It really is a cliche to say one day at a time, but heck, it really is some days!

941 days here. It does get easier. Stay strong! You did a lot of hard work already
ItIsPronnouncedGifNotGif
That's nearly 3 years, isn't it? Fantastic! I hope it gets easier, I really do! But thanks for taking time out to comment, I appreciate it!

It does. Some days will suck. Other days you will think to yourself ‘how stupid of me to ever think I needed that’. So use the good ones to get through the bad ones. You’ve got this!
