GoodbyeJose

3 weeks, and all I wanted to do today was drink.

I realized today my biggest trigger is the stress it takes to be a single parent. Add the fact that he's adopted out of foster (usually have different emotional baggage than "normal" kids) and it just multiplies.

I didn't drink though, and I cannot drink.

four weeks ago I would have caved long before the trigger even started. Today I endured it, and we (my son and I) had a great day.

Here's to another day of sobriety, and the relationships we're fortunate enough to have as a result of it!

Good for you! You should be proud of yourself. I'm sure being without a hangover and the guilt it brings felt good this morning.



Best Wishes To You!

Congratulations! You made it through.

In my experience, the cravings will get fewer and fewer with time.

Good job!
