Today I'm grateful that I keep coming back to sobriety. Sometimes I'm ashamed to come back on here because I get so much good advice and I actually take it, and then bam I slip. I have 8 days. My biggest weakness is when my son is gone to his dads. Well he will be gone for the next 3 week-ends in a row. And Halloween is party time for me. God please help me to talk myself OUT of drinking instead of INTO drinking. The last drinking episodes have been drama free except I drink till I puke. It's all I know. My mom, dad, granny, siblings, husband, friends.... My husband can take it or leave it. He thinks we should not drink because he knows I'm miserable after I drink. Why why why...!!!

Please don't be ashamed to post Sunshine. This is a recovery site, lots of us have been in your shoes.

8 days is fantastic! You can do this... keep posting and reaching out.
Do you have any face to face support?

Misc72

No I don't. I have tried meetings but I really don't like them. It's not my style. I wish I could make friends that are likeminded though.

There are other programs, Sunshine. Smart Recovery, Women for Sobriety, Secular Organizations For Sobriety, or Life Ring. I'm not sure what's available in your area. Maybe you can meet/make friends with people attending one of those meetings.

I do have Smart meeting in my area. I need to try that out! Thank you.
