I love the support in this post, and Caszee, you are not alone. I got myself up to a bottle a night, and then I would tap into other reserves when the bottle was empty. Usually by that 1st glass of something after the bottle was empty, I'd have to stop. I have 2 kids, and I at least knew that tomorrow would suffer majorly if I didn't get to bed and sleep off as much as I could. Many of us wait until the kids go to bed to indulge, and many of us want to be rewarded for long days, but there are much better rewards. There is the reward of sobriety in itself that can then motivate us to try new things and even finish things we've left undone. Relationships that need mending, closets that need cleaning, and that class you've been wanting to take with a spot open just for you. We can do this! Just believe in yourself to get through each moment!
