Back at day 1
Back at day 1
Day 1 sober, I gave in last night to get away from reality. My husband and I have been doing a trial separation and last night he tells me he loves me but is not in love with me and at this moment can't see any hope for us to get that back. Gutted me. So I turned to my good old friends. Slightly hungover for work and tired exhausted all day.
Reinforces that I need to put myself first, stop drinking for good, get healthy and worry about me!!!! Now how the bloody hell do I do that???!?!?!,??? ???

I was in a very similar position last nite, horrible argument with my bf, he was calling me a worthless drunk and an idiot etc, would normally have reached for the bottle. I came on here instead and vented and received kind words and advice, never mind you had a drink, you recognise you have to look after you, as I have, feels a bit weird and selfish of me but self preservation. Keep strong

BE WELL
I'm sorry DF - that must have been hard to hear.
I think you're right tho - you and your recovery need to come before anything else because I've found everything else I have of value depends on my continued recovery
welcome back

Your in work at the moment, right? . . . me too, for both of us that pretty much guarantees we'll be Sober until we clock off for the day, for me that's 5pm, I'll be home for 6pm.
So we both just need to make sure, no stop offs on the way home, resist that first hurdle, the next thing will be making it to bedtime, 6pm to bedtime, that's all I need to do for a Sober day!! . . . break it down like this in your head and things become much more easier.
Before you know it, tomorrow morning you'll be starting a thread titled "Day 2"!!
Obviously I'm not factoring into the equation all the problems at home, that makes things more difficult, but by keeping things manageable in terms of periods of the day hopefully things will be a bit easier!!

Can you do that?

Thanks guys...day 2 and as much as I felt like picking up a drink today I didn't, got some shocking news about a car accident involving couple of mates. One died while the driver is now being charged for his death, drinking and high on god knows what drugs. Brings you back to reality quick, I'm even more determined now to stay sober. I am still smoking pot but need to focus on one thing at a time.
On a positive note will be my sons 3rd bday on Sunday and will be a nice change to be sober for it.
