Hello,
I'm a stay at home mom of an 8 & 4 year old. I'm only on Day 11 so I'm still trying to figure this thing out too. I have some good days and some bad days. To get through the cravings and/or urges I try to distract myself with something else because I know it will pass and it usually doesn't take that long. I went to my first AA meeting last Saturday. It was a Women's only meeting. I'm planning to go back. Everyone was welcoming and supportive. I thought I'd try the Women's meeting first as I figured I could relate to them a little better. My drink of choice was wine and I drank usually starting around 5:00 or 5:30 in the afternoon and continued until I went to bed. Instead of the wine I just drink something else such as tea, water with lemon, juice. In the evenings when I'm watching tv I drink herbal tea. I've never been a hot tea drinker but it's replacing the wine I used to drink plus it has no calories and no caffeine.
Welcome to SR. There is a lot of good advise, encouragement and inspiration here.
