I hope you can work on ways to deal with the home situation without drinking Citrus. You have a lot of support and good ideas to draw on

Citrus

Thank you Btg, Ral and Dee!
I know day one is the most miserable place to ever be. So I am definitely trying my hardest.

Citrus

I made it! On to day 6. Thanks again guys. Hope you all made it through as well. See you tomorrow. ❤

Lixie

Good morning, class! Day 4 here, and I'm off to campus.

Wish you all a great, sober day!

Congrats on getting through Citrus

Congrats on day 4 Lixie. Same for me.

Off to work soon and it makes such a difference to feel clear headed and clean and refreshed rather than dull head, rung out, sweating, tired etc etc. you know how it is.

have a good day everyone.

Hello everyone

I think Octsobers sounds great, Venuscat!

I'm back on day 2 here and feeling good. I've worked hard in the garden this morning and off out for a walk soon. Should sleep well tonight!

I hope everyone is doing well

See this is my problem now. Had a good day at work and want a glass of wine. Not a good day not a bad day just a normal day. But now I want a glass of wine. I purposely didn't go to the shop so I couldn't buy any but why are the thoughts there. Is it just habit?

Backtogood

idk about you, but a drink was my reward after work, my habit. I found that if i replaced that drink with something else the urge would go away or at least lessen.

ReadyAtLast

Thank BTG, you are right. It is part habit, part reward, I'm a grown up I should be allowed a glass of wine after work blah blah. It's what I did for the first 20 years of my working life.

I won't drink tonight. Just hope I don't feel like this every night what do you do instead?

Citrus

RAL stay strong, day 5 will feel a whole lot better than another day 1! Maybe take a walk or a bath. Find a reward for after work that isn't drinking. maybe a special tea or sweet or maybe working on a new hobby. You've got this, stick close.

Backtogood

for me, i would get off work and have drinks and then dinner, or sometimes/most of the time just drink my dinner. So, it was easy to just get off work and plan on dinner right away, instead of drinking. Also going the gym, walks, books, and netflix binges are my common distractions.

Thanks Citrus and BTG. Going to have an early dinner and binge watch Seal Team!! Thank you for your support.

Citrus

I'll have to check out SEAL Team, sounds right up my Hubby's ally.

Backtogood

love seals team!

Lixie

Seals team? What is that?

I'm getting through day 4 by getting a massage and watching MasterChef with my partner. No drinking tonight.

ReadyAtLast

Oh Citrus Seal Team is Fabulous! Glad you like it BTG. Can't wait for new season on November 15th. Have you seen The Unit?

Lixie-Seal Team is a US Based drama series about the Navy Seals. Lots of action and adventure
