It's been hard not to drink tonight

[Sofaroller]

Coming up to 500 days sober and it's been hard today. I feel sad and lonely and while I know the answer doesn't lay at the bottom of a bottle I just want to numb myself. I should probably head to bed.

Very few days like this thankfully.

I just had to tell someone. Solidarity with anyone else feeling similarly

It was hard not to drink…but you didn’t drink, so CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! Big kudos to you. Big achievement.

You have got this!

Take comfort in your bravery to share your vulnerability in this situation . Make it to 501 days and take it from there . Genuinely rooting for you friend ❤️

I feel so proud of you, what an amazing achievement. Take it hour by hour, day by day. You’re doing fantastic xx

I'm so sorry it's been a hard day. Loneliness is so awful, sort of a bottomless feeling. You've done really well, though that may not be much comfort today (but I hope you can celebrate tomorrow, or at a later date).
Is there anything that helps with the loneliness?

Well done you. Today you’ve really beaten it. One day at a time.

I'm sorry you feel sad and lonely. These are usually my reasons to drink. Which is every day right now, if I'm not working. Post here we are on your side just vent it out.

Thank you for your kind comments last night. I of course am glad I didn't have a drink.
