Hey, guess what?

Alcohol sucks! But I think we all knew that. That's why we are here, right? Alcohol disconnects us from ourselves and others. It turns us into something we don't appreciate for long. And it's a really powerful substance to break. There's no manual for the emotions that are experienced going through the process of quitting.

Fortunately, there are a lot of other amazing tools out there. But those tools take a little bit of effort. Honestly, everything takes effort, even drinking, but that's besides the point here. Just know you are not alone. Things can change. Things WILL change, no matter what. That's the only guarantee in life. And it sounds condescending, but keep an open mind about the tools you find. I know for me, I've founds tools before but I wasn't thinking about how to use them right way, not at first, but with more time, more practice using them, I started to see how they could work for me and my experiences. Good luck on your journeys! One day at a time will always be the best approach for any point in our lives!
