Day2
I successfully made it last night. It was easier than I expected. I cooked dinner for my bf and chose something that would take a while. I love to cook so I enjoyed it. He thought cooking would trigger a drink because that's what I used to do. Cook and drink. I kept a large glass of tea on the counter which helped. Unfortunately bed time was rough. I didn't sleep worth a flip and kept waking up sweating and cold. Then I'd get hot. I know that part is temporary.
I read a lot of the threads last night but didn't post anything. Right now I don't feel I have too much to offer. That will change with time and learning how to live a sober life again. Tonight I have a class to go to then we have dinner afterwards. I made plans to spend the night again with my bf because being home alone is a huge trigger for me! I can do this!!!

Yay! Every day is sober is a miracle (but it might not seem like it at the time ).
Keep going, Sinderos!
On edit: I'm on my second try of remaining sober. First time lasted 5 or 6 days. Now I'm on day 4. I had a rough night last night (ugly day at work, wife & daughter bickering when I got home, etc.) and then I went to grille some chicken. I *always* had a drink or a beer in my hand when I grilled, but I was able to pull it off with no alky last night!

Hi, Sinderos. Welcome to SR!
Congrats on your Day 2)
And feel free to post even If you feel like you have not much to say. It helps a lot just to vent out or share your feelings and concerns. There's a lot of support and understanding people here. Some day you will offer your help to a newbie too)
Great that you found SR.
