I forgot how HARD THIS IS!

Day 6 and I am fighting the good fight. I think I just made it through my "tough time" which begins about 5:00. On a scale of 1 to 10, I was at about an 8 of convincing myself that just one drink would be ok. I am about to cook dinner and no one would know. But instead I spent my time reading here, and praying, and now I am strong enough to go cook dinner without caving into it. (Dinner will be a bit late tonight!) So, THANKS for all of your helpful, brutally honest posts everyone.

Keep strong Chloe,

Yes one drink would be fine but we know it never stops at one drink. I never think one drink, I think one bender would be fine. I was thinking that last night and instead of pushing the thought away I went with it. Ok so you have the one bender what happens when you feel like a drink it will just be easier for you to cave in if you give in this time.

All the best

Oh Nilla, I'm so sorry to hear that. But I get it. Well, I hope you start over with even greater resolve. I hope you can let go of the guilt too. You fell. Oops. Learn from it and move on - and I know it isn't as easy as it sounds. Best wishes to you too!
