Addiction to Sobriety
Addiction to sobriety. Personally I feel I become addicted to many things, not just alcohol do you? Is it addiction or if it is more of an obsession? Whenever I begin a new phase in my life I have to go all out. Like ‘the gym’ A new program lets say, I become consumed by it. Thinking of when I can get my next session in to developing a stronger lift as soon as I can. Then there are work ideas, I get lots, some good, some not so good.

Sobriety – Different This Time
As in the previous post, I talked about pressures from family and friends. Social and home life all add to my not being able to stop drinking. But this time although still very new in my sobriety, I feel different this time. Just One Won’t Hurt Time has passed since I have let “the wine witch” (This Naked Mind – Annie Grace) get in my head.

Or in social situations, I convince myself that I would be spoiling things for others…
