Made it through the weekend!
I did make it through my first sober weekend. It wasn't as hard as I'd thought but definitely had several moments of weakness. I'm just embarking on day 7 today. Going in to see the doctor tomorrow with the results of a full blood work that I did. I hope that goes well. I'll be so happy to report to him that I stayed sober all week. Happy and productive Monday everybody!

Hi all,
I`m sad to report that this weekend went to ****.. Back on day 2, feeling absolutely rubbish..
The plans I had for Saturday fell through, and then everything just went sideways.
I am so disappointed in myself, it’s like I lost all the self-control I had been holding so firm on for 13 days.
Well, not much else to do but dust myself off and going at it again. For what it’s worth, 13 days is the longest streak I’ve had in years.

Use what happened to go back to your recovery plan and beef it up...if you need to make more changes make them...iuf you need to find more support or use the support you have better, you can do that too
Recovery 2.0. = better faster stronger

Oh what a day. Day 8 out of the way thank god. Nite nite darling Marchers.
We are a team....Don't ever forget that. It doesn't matter if you reset to Day 1, you are part of the Marchers and we are a force to be reckoned with. AV stand aside!

Day 1 again for me. I was almost at 3 weeks I am so incredibly mad at myself and disappointed. I didn't get drunk like I normally would but I did have a couple beers. I hate the fact that DH has to have beer at the house. I hate that I have no one to text when AV decides to show up. I know I could have came on here but a text is so much faster. I just absolutely hate myself today..

Are you able to talk with DH about the alcohol in the house? This is an issue that needs the most care and the most respect to recover from.
What is the plan for next time? There is always someone here on SR who is willing and able to talk you down from the "Drinking Cliff"
Here for you and rooting you on!

And no I haven't told anyone because nobody besides DH knows . I have decided to go see a therapist. I unfortunately have no one around me to talk to about my problems and I think keeping everything bottled up inside isn't helping..

Day 8 for me.
Kind of pissed that my MIL keeps coming over, making a mess in my kitchen, cooking, and then leaving half drank bottles of wine when she leaves.
I have asked her to not leave any alcohol here- I don't mind if she drinks, just don't leave it here.
I'm also sick, so I've had a migraine, cough, congestion, and chest pains since yesterday. I'm going to try and sleep it off, but I can't sleep.
So far, so good with quitting cigarettes.
Now I need to get a hobby so I can stop constantly thinking about drinking or smoking. Because right now I just lay in bed and get on Pinterest while watching TV.

I can distinctly remember CRAWLING drunk down the driveway at 2 a.m. the night before recycling pickup to get the last load out before anyone saw them. If I tipped over my glass bin, it sounded like a glass factory exploded. I live on a hill with a sloped driveway, and if the bin got knocked over during the day when I was at work there would be bottles all the way down to the main road. I used to worry about that. It would have looked like a beer truck crashed.
Soooo frigging glad to be off the addiction treadmill.

Hi, everyone. I'm feeling a bit seedy, headachy, sniffly at the moment - I think I've eaten something I'm intolerant to, not sure what: too much milk and cheese? or, more probably, sulphites in something. Bit blah, anyway. Never mind, it'll pass.
Stick close to SR, everybody.
