Well, it is a little over midnight where I am, so that makes it Day 6, which is now 1 day longer than my previous sobriety. Husband is home and drinking a beer, but it is not really bothering me since I am full (he brought me home a chicken terriyaki bowl).

I made plans with him tomorrow so we can have a schedule. I will get up, exercise, and then we will go and see Furious 7 at 4 pm. We will then go out to eat.

If I start to feel a craving, I will just be honest to him about it and go into our bedroom and read, study, or listen to music.

I feel that things are different this time but only because I am immersing myself in AA. The meetings really do have a strong effect on me. SR is also great because it gives me a safe place to go when I am home and he is drinking, and I am feeling vulnerable.

Just hang on for these next two days. You can do this. And then, you can keep doing it. We will be here for you. You're strong, you have a plan- you won't fail

You are doing really well JB, enjoy the movie tomorrow.

I'm glad you're doing well. I have also really embraced AA and I'm finding it really useful.

Enjoy the film, I've heard it's brilliant!

Rivelino

Well done and it sounds you've thought clearly about the potentially difficult and dangerous situations ahead.

Wishing you a great sober day.

I watched Birdman last night and I loved it, another benefit of sobriety is having the patience to watch a film all the way through and remembering it the next day!

i think that is great that you have a plan when you have a craving. i am back on day 14 and been getting them. i developed a plan like you and been good so far. but eating a nice meal does help a lot of my cravings

Hanging in there, although this movie is too long. Husband had beer before movie, 2 beers during movie. My craving is high, probably 8/10. I know I have to hang in there, I have worked too hard.

8 is high. Just come back to this thread- I'm irritable and hungry and stuck at work- let's do this together? I was actually considering going next door to buy a beer or get one later.
Let's NOT
and talk about it later

Just wanted to add that I took at few hits right now of marijuana. I just did not want to mislead anyone.
