Day 46 in the Sober Recovery House...
I can't believe I've made it this far, or the willpower I've had to exert on my weekly grocery shop not to so much as pick up a bottle of wine 'for cooking'. I think this is the longest I've gone without a drink since I was 18 (a long, long time ago - before internet forums anyway!!)
Keep it up everyone, you're a real help to me.

I so hate to say this, but I am back on Day 1. I just got caught up in the whole thing again. I didn't drink to great excess, but I did drink more than is normal. Wow, I can't believe how easy it is. But if I sit here and beat myself up, I will end up having a big ole' pity party and who knows what I'll do.
So, I starting over today. Day 1.
Good job Ed and Head in the Clouds! You are surely and inspiration!

I am on -1 day & looking for support. I am so glad I found this group & looking to talk to someone in my position.
I am a stay-at-home mom of 1. I drank heavily in college & into my first few years in the corporate world. My positions were heavily socialable, I knew/know other way of interacting with other business professionals. Now that I stay at home I am bored...... I will start drinking at noon to be entertained. I strive to be the best mom I can be, almost too much pressure. My house is perfect, my clothes are perfect... everything is wonderful.... what am I missing?!?!?!??!! I sound like an ******* saying this, but this is the truth, I need help! I am waiting for my husband to divorce me because we are young, so things seem perfect, but he is the type of guy who looks beyond that & I feel as though he will notice a huge missing piece (my sobriety)!

Hi Westcoastgrl,
I am on Day 1 also after having over a month of sobriety in. Let me tell you, it is so much better without the alcolhol. You can do this. You will need to find other things to do to occupy your time, instead of thinking about drinking. I was a stay at home mom for 15 years and know what you mean. We can do this. Just get past the anxiety, and stress the next few days will bring. Drink lots of water and take vitamins. Keep in touch!

Hi Westcoastgrl,
I’m not a stay at home mom, but I did stop drinking. Staying stopped seems to require changing our lives and minds. It is doable with the effort. Day 1 is a good start. I’ve learned a lot here.

Hi Eclipse
I'm back on Day 1 today as well - had 3 glasses of wine with a friend at lunch yesterday. I don't know why I did it, I'm annoyed that I was so weak, but I don't get out much and was just so thrilled to be sharing a drink with good company!
Anyway, time to try again.

Stay with us headintheclouds. You'll do it!!
I'm probably going to be out of wireless range for a few days. Just landed a sweet job up in the mountains off to my west. The last time I was there was 10 years ago. The place I worked on was just getting its first electric and indoor plumbing. They actually had a real out house. Don't think I'll be finding any internet there.
I'll be missing everyone

I was stuck in the two weeks and under thread so long, and so many times I thought I'd never get out and stay out. But if a chronic relapser like me can stay sober, so can anyone. Just keep trying and make staying sober your first priority! You can do this!
Sorry, wrong thread.
