day 9
Back to work this morning after a somewhat shakey weekend, a lot of thinking going on but in general it went better than I had thought it would. Im fully detoxed at this stage, but that only happened on the last day or two. 72 hours don't seem to work for everybody, well not me anyways. Im feeling i can make friday or at least now I am confident that I can make friday and then try and get through another grueling weekend............grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr it never ends!!!

showing up again for another try
day 1 again.
after a planned weekend of drinking...it sucked just as much as if i hadn't planned it. saturday's cookout with friends was fun and then not. i cry because i'm alone without a mate but then again i judge other ppl's relationships and am happy i'm alone. ppl can be so mean to each other. i just felt i had to drink - you know that's what i've always done with them. i don't think it's exactly working out for them either, but i don't think they know--it's just their life. but then again not my problem--gots my own.
so day one today. not looking ahead to any point in this week or month, just seeing how it goes. i did complete the whole work week last week --mon-fri afternoon not drinking which i didn't think was possible. i haven't done that in a long time so again i think...we'll see how it goes.
good to be back and it looks like everyone is doing good here on the thread -- congrats to you!

I'm back again on Day1.......
It's no excuse, but hubby's long hours and being alone with the kiddos all the time finally got the best of me last night. Wasn't even worth it since I only had 2 beers and then the guilt set in so I went to bed. Grrr, why can't this be easy?????

I have one day less than you, Day 8 for me today, but I get where you're coming from completely.
Here is a fantastic article that really helped me this weeked to have hope for the future, re- feelings of "grrrr it never ends"/deprivation.
It's the first thing I've read about recovery that made me feel like "Hey, maybe this not drinking thing won't be as bad as I'm imagining". Read it and tell me if you agree!
(the site won't let me post links but I think this is entirely appropriate and relevant, so I'm saying "dot" where "." should go
