struggling

I'm on my way home from my parents house finally. I don't have to work tomorrow so my addiction is screaming at me to buy a bottle on the way home. That I'll just regret it and be bored if I don't. I'm tired of beating myself up. I don't want to feel anxious and guilty tomorrow. It'll just lead me to drinking again by tomorrow afternoon. Why is this so hard?!

Do not buy the bottle! We all know where that is headed. Can you find something else to keep you occupied instead? A project? AA meeting? Movie? Going for a walk?

Hang in there...this feeling will pass. You don't want to wake up tomorrow hating yourself.

Thank you guys! You're awesome. I'm not gonna do it. My decision is made, so no more internal conflict. I dream of the day I don't constantly feel like my evenings and weekends have to include alcohol!

That day will come. Weekends and evenings become much easier the more you get through sober

Thank the Lord, I made it home without stopping for alcohol! And ya know what? I'm not bored! And I certainly don't regret my decision! I am really looking forward to a peaceful night sleep- no 3 AM anxiety attack. And tomorrow morning? Well that will be an awesome start to my day off. I won't spend the day hating myself. I think every time I decide NOT to buy alcohol, I will put the money I would have blown into my baby girl's savings account. I think that is a much better way to spend it!

That's great! I'm glad you made it home without picking up a bottle. I also got those early morning anxiety attacks. Those were horrid.

You'll wake up tomorrow with no hangover which IHMO is one of the best feelings in the world.

Hang in there. Don't give up!
