Hello all ,,day 4 , and feeling better. I talked to my husband yesterday about how drinking has taken its toll on me, he is trying to support me. It is hard for him to understand .We have been married for 24 years and he has never drank or did any drugs. Drinking has caused most of the problems we have had over the past 10 years. Drinking has a very high price, a price I am no longer willing to pay. I am powerless over some situations, but God is all powerful and I turn this over to him.

Seems like we're all having rough days, but hanging in there. Mine was no exception. I rarely take risks. I put myself out there today to ask about a potential internship, which isn't going to happen. I am all upset and feel stupid for putting myself out there. AV wanted me to pick up a beer on the way home to tune out these negative emotions, but I know that's just going to make me feel worse about myself. Didn't stop and kept driving, so I feel like I did something good today.

Good evening everyone! I'm on day 2 now. I usually break on day 4 or 5 but I'm a closet binge drinker and I made sure I have company from Thursday through Sunday. I will be going out to a Mexican Restaurant one of those nights and how I love those Margaritas. But...do I really love them? Let's see, I would want to suck them down but end up pacing myself according to everyone else. How annoying! I will be having the sparkling water with my fajitas this time! I hope everyone is doing okay tonight.

Thanks Dee. I think I will be okay. It's important that I go out and socialize since feeling lonely is a huge trigger. I know that I will pass up the margaritas because having an alcohol life is more important to me at this time.

I'm in! I joined SR just over 3 years ago and only made it 6 months sober. I do not want to look back 3 years from now and regret being drunk.

My plan involves AVRT and SR. Alcohol only causes me harm.

Doing my daily check in.....last night I was triggered a bit. I am learning my drinking triggers & just realized that boredom is definitely one of them. Last night the hubs got drunk & went to bed early. I was in the living room watching TV by myself with the dogs. All of a sudden, my AV started talking to me: "Man, drinking can really help with getting to sleep fast". I literally told my AV to shut up (good thing the dogs were my only witness - LOL) & then went to bed myself.

Congrats to everyone that has not had a drink thus far....rock on!
