I’m stronger than my cravings
They’re misinformed
Having been given incorrect information
It’s not my fault
I did my best in the situation
I know better now
But my cravings drive me mad at times
Wanting that wine
Like a little girl
Charging around my house at night
She’s cold and wants to play with matches to get warm
She’s prepared to argue
And fight
She wants to feel better
And I’m under pressure to let her
I could do that
But I know in fact
A better way exists rather than let her build a fire
I could put the heating on
The warmth of sobriety
Is there for us both you see
And I can always turn that heat up higher
With no chance we’d set the house on fire
The little girl doesn’t care about this
As she’s not aware this option exists
It’s up to me to teach her this ❤
Silencing the Cravings
I’m mothering my inner child Together we’ll walk hand in hand
Sobriety – Serenity
My thoughts on alcohol cravings
If you want something badly that’s not healthy
That’s not healthy
If you always want to zone out at night
There’s something wrong with that picture right?
If you feel cravings fighting to get the better of you
Don’t you need to fight just as much too?
That sounds exhausting but….
What about fighting smarter not harder?

Don’t let alcohol steal your future
From under your nose
