Today, I refuse to go back to my old ways. I am becoming a better person. Using my past as a lesson that keeps me doing the next right thing.

Drinking & self-harm was one of my coping strategies to help me with my pain. Next month will be a year since I stop with the heavy drinking. I do have my days when I have a glass of wine or two but its nothing wrong with that…right? Lately I have noticed when I’m under stressful, overwhelming situations I crave alcohol. Fighting those urges has been a battle but I’m glad I haven’t gave in & started back drinking heavily. Self-harm for me was more of feeling pain to numb me…help calm me down. Even when I drank so much. Does it work? Temporary it did but the emotions are still there. I always ask myself…Am I a recovering alcoholic? Can I continue to push through this?
