I want to open another bottle of wine
I reached out here for the first time last night, and the responses I got were incredible. I knew i had hit my wall, and i was ready to do something about it. I just have to deal with a massive Work problem tomorrow that is entirely my fault, and I don’t know how to do it without my wine. So I drank my usual amount today/tonight, and then some, and I still want to keep going so I can black out and not be up all night wondering how badly I’m going to find out I screwed up tomorrow. I just need my crutch for one or two more days. After my work issue passes, I can focus on this. I already have a strategy planned to help me do better at work. I just need to not open that next bottle of wine.

I hope you didn’t give in a have a great night’s sleep. I really wish I could sleep right now... I’ll probably be up craving alcohol tonight until 2 am, no alcohol sales after that until 4 am so even with the worst cravings I say I can sleep for at least 2 hours and fortunately that often turns into 6 or 8 hours. I get insomnia when I get cravings and don’t want to start to take sleeping pills because I’m afraid I’ll forget if I already took one and take another and maybe accidentally OD.
Fingers crossed you can stay sober starting tomorrow, oh and I hope to stay sober tomorrow too taking it one day at a time.

"I'm just going to drink this one last time" is all AV talk. Quitting "tomorrow" likely will never happen.
Dump what you have and make "tomorrow" now. Getting wasted and walking into work smelling like a winery sure isn't going to help anything.

Only way I’m managing staying sober today is no booze in the house... I refuse to allow myself to go to the store of even leave the house... I WILL NOT BUY MORE.
Hey Rayna - its difficult to change the way we deal with things but not impossible.
Drinking never mad anything better in the long run and frequently made things worse.
I decided I needed to take the option of drinking off the table...it meant I had to face a lot of discomfort and fear - but I grew a lot too
And you're not alone - support 24/.7 here.
If your only tool is booze, get some new tools
