Struggling
41 days today. I am so proud of myself despite the fact that I want to drink SOOOOO bad right now. Its been a couple of days from hell here. I won't get into what happened or what I want to do right now (other than drink) on a public forum but things are far from well. I know that if I make it through the night things might get better in the morning. Tomorrow is another day right? I'm going to have to keep believing that and hope I make it to see the sunrise.

I agree w/sapling. You'll make it. 41 days is fantastic (personally, I haven't yet gotten that far). The old saying goes that it always seems darkest before the dawn. Literally, it can seem that way. Sunrise and a new day isn't that far....

one thing i learned is it wasnt stress(fear) that made me drink. it was not knowing how to handle it. and wouldnt ya know it, when i dried up the next day, the problems i was stressin(fearin) over were still there.
when i learned how to live life and deal with situations that caused stress( fear) i stopped having the complusion to drink in those situations.

Thanks everyone for the support. Sapling, thanks for the chat last night 
I went to bed, didn't drink and allowed myself to sleep in today. Now I am rested, a little more relaxed and ready to face another day sober. The last couple of days have been testing my sobriety but I'm slowly learning how to cope with stresses and problems while sober. No one ever said it would be easy and I'm not expecting it to be, just want to get through it one day at a time. Hope everyone has a good weekend.
