You can do it for one day mangoman. Plan something to do after 4:00 that doesn't involve drinking. A nice meal, a walk, a movie or take a long nap. Or check for a local AA meeting and attend it. Just do something to keep you from dwelling on thoughts of drinking.

Congrats to today's celebrants! I hope we all get through this day sober. My prayers for anyone who is struggling no matter that the reason is.

Delilah, I think the strength your showing right now is phenomenal and, a testament to your commitment to sobriety. An example for us all to follow.
I agree! No reason to pick up a drink. stay strong Dear (((Delilah.)))

I know how this goes.....I'm sure all of us here do.

For me the answer is that I am an alcoholic.
And I need to do whatever it takes to stay sober one day at a time.
In the early days, each time I got sober, that 4/5pm mark of the day was a huge struggle. But rather than feel bad about being in the struggle, I made sure I had other things to do at this time of day until I got more used to not picking up a drink.

It wasn't easy for sure, but we can do it. With practice and patience and self-love.

Thinking of you today.
