I was alone with my husband, his booze, and my AV.
I miss hanging out with my husband, having a drink on the patio.
I had told myself I was finished with alcohol, it wasn't an option, I have a problem, etc. I'm so good at lying to myself, because I really believed this. I don't think I'll drink tonight, but I'm not sure I believe myself.
I have a headache and feel like crap. I'm going for a walk now; some fresh air would be nice. Obviously I need to do some stuff differently, will think about that when the fog clears.
AA's "How It Works" describes alcohol as "Cunning, baffling, powerful".
I found AA helped me get sober and stay sober.
Thank you for sharing. I wish you the best in your recovery program.
