just contacted my wife and daughter ... (the only family I have from today), will go to have a pizza, there will be lots or talking (understanding) with my wife, I will try to explain my situtation (struggling with everything/everyone).
Our life is not easy...we have the advantage to be fighting against a sickness that we can control and don't let it kill us. The problem is that this sickness has the power to control us.

I remember the day after my last relapse/slip, whatever you want to call it as being the most miserable I can remember. I was gutted that I couldn't seem to make this work for me, and I faced a big decision at that point. To try again or to carry on drinking...
If it wasn't for all the love and support I got here at SR, I'm pretty sure I would have followed the wrong path.
Keep posting guys. Our addiction likes to isolate us so it can whisper its lies...there is strength in numbers here.
I credit my class (may 2012) totally for seeing me through my worst days.
Stick together

Fifth, can you just stop drinking now? don't make yourself so ill again, like last weekend. Just get rid of it all now.
Grindilow, back at it! Glad it was not catastrophic, but you have been so good at this. Sober Saturday, right?

Day 5 and feeling like I'm living in a different world. A world not available to me when I'm drinking. And it's beautiful.
The urge still nags at me that it would be nice to have a beer, its been hot here.
But I can't drink. I know that.
If I don't have that first one, I won't be having a second one.....or a twentieth one.
So little evil, alcoholic voice...get lost!

Alphabet, I'm glad you are at the hospital and getting care for yourself.
So sorry for all of the struggles going on.
What can we all do right now? We can COMMIT TO TODAY. It's possible for all of us to make it until this time tomorrow. Who is with me? Who has a plan for how they are going to get through the next 24 hours? I hope you share them, with details.
Everyone came back here after their slips so we're off to a good start.
NewLeaf, do not apologize for your posts! You are so supportive and I enjoyed every one of them.
AFM - I am doing fine. It's 2 pm and I haven't really started any work so I'm behind, but I hung with family and did a ton of chores this morning to procrastinate.
Husband is really having some mental/emotional issues, in fact I'm started to really get concerned and not sure what to do. He was up with a panic attack in the middle of the night last night, then today he was still in a bad state and I gave him half of a xanax (I have them for flying bc I hate airplanes). It made him feel better and he asked me if they write daily rx's for xanax. UM. His mom is an rx drug addict and I do not want him following that path. I told him he HAS to get in for therapy next week - I will call and get him an emergency appointment and even go with him if I have to. It's terrible to see him struggling so much. He is trying to be stoic. it's very weird how I feel very stable and he is having a hard time. It makes me VERY glad that I have 19 days under my belt so I can be a functional and not dysfunctional spouse right now.
Thinking of everyone. Please commit to yourself for the next 24 hours. You are worth it. Big hugs to everyone.
